After a career spanning six decades, one of Britain's most beloved DJs is bringing his show on the road.

Tony Blackburn has been heading up Sounds of the 60s on BBC Radio 2 for the past 10 years. To celebrate, he's bringing the show on the road in 2027, celebrating the music and memories of the 1960s across the UK.

2027 is set to be a big year for Tony Blackburn, as it will mark 60 years since he became the very first voice heard on BBC Radio 1, which he launched in 1967.

Fans attending the Sounds of the 60s Live Tour can expect to hear medleys of classics from the likes of Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Beach Boys and many more.

Speaking about the tour, Blackburn said, "I'm so excited to be back on the road with the fabulous Sounds of the 60's Band and singers. 2027 marks 60 years since I opened Radio 1, so it's going to be extra special to be telling stories of the best decade ever and dancing to more than 100 of the greatest 60's hits.”
