Every week, listeners across the UK tune into BBC Radio 2 to hear the legendary Tony Blackburn play the greatest songs of the 60’s.
Now, the legendary DJ will be taking his Sounds of the 60’s show on the road, for a UK tour celebrating the music of this much-loved decade.
Featuring stories and songs from perhaps the most iconic 10 years in music, fashion and popular culture, the Sounds of the 60s tour will bring to life memories of the era. The Sounds of the 60s All-Star Band and Singers will perform classic hits from the likes of The Everly Brothers, Elvis, The Drifters, Marvin Gaye, along with fresh medleys from The Rolling Stones, The Walker Brothers, and some of the greatest soul tracks ever recorded, alongside timeless classics from Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder and much more. 2027 will be a landmark year for Tony, which sees him celebrate 10 years of hosting the hugely popular Sounds of the 60s on BBC Radio 2, as well as 60 years since he became the very first voice heard on BBC Radio 1, when he launched the station in 1967. “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. ” Said Tony on the newly announced 2027 dates. Tony Blackburn is one of Britain’s best-loved broadcasters, with a remarkable career spanning more than six decades. He made broadcasting history in 1967 as the first voice heard on BBC Radio 1, where he presented the station’s original Breakfast Show. A lifelong champion of soul music, Tony has played a hugely influential role in bringing the genre to British audiences and remains one of the country’s most respected music broadcasters. Today, Tony presents BBC Radio 2’s hugely popular Sounds of the Sixties, alongside Tony Blackburn’s Golden Hour and Sounds of Soul on BBC Sounds.
His television career has included Top of the Pops, The One Show and Morning Live, as well as becoming the first ever winner of I’m a Celebrity. . . Get Me Out of Here!
in 2002. Tony has received 37 industry awards, including two Gold Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Radio – the only broadcaster to have received the honour twice. In 2026, he added author to the list with the launch of Joketastic, a collection of the jokes, one-liners and gloriously groan-inducing humour that have become such a familiar part of his broadcasts. More than 60 years after his first show, Tony remains firmly at the heart of British broadcasting – still on air, still touring and still sharing the music he loves with audiences across the country.
