Roxy Music, one of the most influential and exhilarating music acts in history, will tour for the first time in more than a decade to mark the 50th year since their groundbreaking debut album.
Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Phil Manzanera and Paul Thompson, together on stage for the first time since their sold-out and critically acclaimed 2011 For Your Pleasure tour, will perform 10 arena shows across North America, before hitting UK shores, on October 10, 2022.
Tickets for the three UK dates will go on sale Thursday, March 31 (9am BST) at Gigs and Tours. Artist presale runs from Tuesday, March 29 (9am BST) until Wednesday, March 30 (5pm BST). Roxy Music will offer several VIP packages for each show that include premium tickets, limited edition merchandise and more. Package contents vary based on offer selected.

Since their formation in 1972, multi-platinum Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Roxy Music have left an indelible mark on the worlds of music, fashion, and art, merging the three with a singular and astonishing vision that brought them immediate, global success. Today they are regarded as one of the most influential bands of all time, whose work has inspired generations of musicians. Intense, emotive, and clever, with iconic graphics, Roxy Music’s eight studio albums birthed the art-rock movement, blurring the lines between genres and infusing a new kind of glamour into rock music for the first time.
2022 marks a year of celebration for Roxy Music. Throughout the year, each of their eight studio albums, all heralded as modern classics, will be reissued as special anniversary editions with a new half-speed cut, revised artwork and a deluxe gloss laminated finish. The first 2 LPs, “Roxy Music” and “For Your Pleasure”, will be released on April 1, 2022, with the remaining albums arriving in paired drops throughout the year.
