The Brand New Heavies

The Brand New Heavies will undertake a 12 date UK tour in March 2026.

This year the band celebrated 35 years since they formed, and what better way to celebrate than with a major set of live dates? With support at all shows from special guests Galliano, this tour is not to be missed.

The huge singles ‘Dream On Dreamer’ and ‘Midnight At The Oasis’ are familiar to anyone who has ever turned on a radio, and there were plenty more hits, ‘Back To Love’, ‘Spend Some Time’, ‘Sometimes’, ‘You Are The Universe’, ‘You’ve Got A Friend’, to name but a few. With the band not only enjoying massive success - selling over 2.5 million albums - The Brand New Heavies were also pioneers, essentially creating the fusion of jazz, funk and hip-hop that fuelled their chart and airplay domination, and became known as Acid Jazz.

Galliano, who are special guests for all shows, released the first ever single on the Acid Jazz label. Between 1991 and 1996, they released four albums on the Talkin’ Loud label, with the third ‘The Plot Thickens’ giving them a Top Ten UK chart hit. Known for their potent live shows, Galliano returned for hiatus in 2023, with many of the original musicians still on board, and released their first album in 28 years, ‘Halfway Somewhere’, in 2024.
