ShareMulti-platinum selling vocal harmony group The Overtones have announced an extensive UK tour for November and December 2023. Billed as the Good Times Tour, the group will play 27-dates, beginning in Stockport on 7th November and ending in Aberdeen on 13th December. The tour also includes a date at London’s Indigo O2 on 6th December.
The four-piece, made up of Mark Franks, Darren Everest, Jay James and Mike Crawshaw, are best known for their exquisite vocals, incredible harmonies, perfectly-timed dance moves and distinctive style.
Blending their perfect mix of originality and classic nostalgia, The Overtones feel-good, show-stopping performances have led to a decade of success in which the in-demand group has achieved five top ten albums, with their latest album 10 also becoming the group’s very first UK number one on the Official UK Independent Album Chart.
The Overtones have performed multiple sold-out tours and headlined many of the most iconic venues in the world, including The London Palladium and The Royal Albert Hall. The group has also performed at hugely prestigious events such as The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, playing to over one million people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and, last year, performing at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar before England’s victory over Senegal.
At the Good Times tour, which sees The Overtones on the road in the run up to Christmas for the first time since 2019, the boys will perform a mix of original smash-hits and soul classics from the likes of The Drifters, The Temptations and Stevie Wonder, amongst many others, plus some festive favourites.
“We’re so excited to be back on the road for our first Christmas tour in four years”, said Darren Everest. “People always tell us it’s their ‘Official start to Christmas’ and we can’t wait to party with them!”
Jay James said, “We’re absolutely buzzing, this is the biggest tour we’ve done in a very long time. To be back out with everyone for our traditional Christmas Party, our first in four years, after everything we’ve all been through, is going to be extra special.”
Mike Crawshaw said, “We’ll be giving it our all to give everyone the best start to the festive season! There’s lots going on in the world right now, but for your evening with us we guarantee you can leave your troubles at the door for a night of laughter, dance, singing and joy. Let the Good Times roll!”
Mark Franks added, “We can’t wait to see you all on tour this Christmas. It’s going to be one helluva party, jam packed with all your favourite classics and some surprises too. Grab your dancing shoes and let’s make it a night to remember!”
