'Musical legend' coming to Glasgow for special 50th anniversary tour

A "musical legend" is coming to Glasgow as part of a special upcoming UK tour. 

Smokey Robinson, best known for songs like Cruisin' and Being With You, will be performing at the SEC Armadillo on July 3. 

The show – which is part of the 85-year-old's Legacy Tour – will be Smokey's first in the UK in a decade and will mark 50 years since the release of his 1975 breakthrough album, A Quiet Storm.

Smokey will also be joined by special guests Kiki Dee and Carmelo Luggeri, during the tour. 

Speaking on the upcoming shows across the UK, Smokey said: “I always love performing in the UK, it has been too long.

"These special shows mark the 50th anniversary of ‘A Quiet Storm’, an album that is truly special to me. So whilst I want to honour that record, and those amazing times, this will also be a celebration of everything that has come before and we will be performing all the hits.

"It’s been over 10 years and I cannot wait to return in July 2025 and entertain all my UK fans."

Tickets for the show are now on-sale and can be purchased by visiting www.sec.co.uk
