Uriah Heep announce 2025 farewell UK tour: “See you all one last time”
Uriah Heep have announced a farewell UK tour for 2025 – you can find all the details below.
The London rock band, who formed in 1969, will hit the road for the UK leg of ‘The Magician’s Farewell’ world tour next February. They are due to play headline gigs in Birmingham, Bristol, Gateshead, Glasgow, Manchester, London and Bexhill.
Support will come from “very special guests” April Wine and Tyketto.
Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (September 27) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. A pre-sale is set to take place at the same time on Thursday (26) via Ticketmaster.
In a statement, guitarist Mick Box said: “Who can believe next year is 55 years since the band started? And I know many of you have been with us since the beginning. Well, none of us are getting younger so unfortunately we have made the decision to wind down touring the world starting next year.
“Under the very apt title of ‘The Magician’s Farewell’ we will start our final journey on the road. This isn’t going to be one of those long, dragged out goodbyes but we do intend over the next 2-3 years to play as many places possible and see you all for one last time. I want to reiterate that the band will continue to play shows as long as we can after we are done touring but these will be limited to one off festival type events and the like.”
Box added: “On behalf of the band and myself I want to thank you all for the continued support you have always given us and it means so much to us. Look forward to seeing you all again very soon … ‘Appy Days!”
Uriah Heep released their debut album ‘Very ‘Eavy… Very ‘Umble’ back in 1970. Their 25th and most recent full-length record, ‘Chaos & Colour’, came out in early 2023.
The band’s current line-up consists of Box alongside Phil Lanzon, Bernie Shaw, Russell Gilbrook and Dave Rimmer.
