What are they performing?

The band will perform the entire debut album 'Popped In Souled Out' alongside a catalogue of beloved hits spanning their remarkable career . The 1987 album reached Number 1 on the UK Albums Chart and featured the hit singles: 'Wishing I Was Lucky', 'Sweet Little Mystery', 'Angel Eyes' and 'Temptation'.

The show celebrates both where it all began and what followed, including their three UK Number 1 singles: 'With A Little Help From My Friends', 'Goodnight Girl', and their ubiquitous cover of 'Love Is All Around'.

When does the tour start?

The 2027 'Popped In Souled Out' UK tour kicks off on Sunday 7th February 2027 at Watford Colosseum.

Speaking ahead of the shows, Graeme Clark said: "When we made Popped In Souled Out, I was just a young guy. 40 years later, those songs have taken on a life of their own, and this tour is about celebrating where it all began without forgetting what followed. It'll feel like stepping back into those original PISO shoes – only now with a lifetime of experience and with an audience who've been with us through every twist and turn."

Kevin Simm said: "I'm really excited to be going back out on tour in 2027 and celebrating 40 years of Popped In Souled Out. It's an absolute honour and a privilege as always to sing these iconic and timeless songs, and to perform them in so many venues across the UK to so many fans of the band is really a dream come true."

Graeme Duffin added: "I'd have been gobsmacked if anyone had told me 40 years ago that the tracks on Popped In Souled Out would still be loved by so many and that I'd still be performing them with the band after all that time. These shows are going to be a blast, and I know that fans are going to enjoy the shows just as much as us when we hit the road again next year."
