Joe Jackson has announced UK & EIRE dates for March as part of his European touring plans for 2022. The versatile Jackson first came to our attention with the classic ‘Look Sharp’ album in 1979 and has explored many musical avenues in the intervening years with sorties into jazz, classical and film soundtracks. The 2022 dates will see the welcome return of his 2019 touring band featuring Graham Maby (Bass, Vocals), Teddy Kumpel (Guitar, Vocals) and Doug Yowell (Drums, Vocals, Electronics). More about Joe, his thoughts on a return of live music and those all important tour dates follow:
UPDATE: Unfortunately the ‘Sing, You Sinners!’ tour has been rescheduled.

“We’ve been dealing with two viruses over the past two years, and the worst - the one we really need to put behind us - is Fear. Love is the opposite of fear, so if you love live music, come out and support it!”
Joe Jackson is launching a new tour with the same band as his last, the successful Four Decade Tour of 2019, and his last album Fool: Graham Maby (Bass, Vocals), Teddy Kumpel (Guitar, Vocals) and Doug Yowell (Drums, Vocals, Electronics).
The show will feature both the full band and a 'mini-set' of Joe solo. The songs will be drawn from Joe's whole career, including some that haven't been heard live in many years. Watch out also for some surprises, including some completely new material. The tour will take the band to some cities Joe has never played (Saarbrücken, Valencia) or hasn't played for a long time (Bordeaux, Lisbon, Oporto) as well as seven shows in the UK and new venues in Berlin, Paris and other cities.
