Live Nation is delighted to announce the ‘Timeless Flight 2015’ Tour from The Moody Blues, one of the most enduring, creative and consistent groups in the world. Tickets go on sale on at 10am on Friday 19th September 2014 from www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk; Their remarkable music has enthralled generations of fans since the 1960’s and their recorded legacy contains some of the most important and ground breaking work in the history of popular music, having generated over 55 million sales throughout the world. The Moody Blues – Justin Hayward, John Lodge and Graeme Edge – carry on their magical musical legacy from generation to generation, year after year and now they are returning to the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on Sunday June 21st 2015.
The legacy of The Moody Blues continues to live on, as the band tours throughout the world, delighting their loyal fans. Justin Hayward said, “We are always so happy to be returning to the U.K. to play. All of these venues are dear to us and many, like the New Theatre Oxford and Newcastle City Hall, are the gigs we remember fondly from our youth when we played them as headliners for the first time. We felt then that we had really ‘made it’ at last and all our work had paid off. Dedicated Moodies fans will be out in force, and we love it. We have been exploring our catalogue of songs recently and we’ll be playing some songs on stage that we only experienced for a day or so in the studio the first time round. They work brilliantly. We believe there’s something for everybody in our show and we are playing songs from just about every album. I can say this is the best incarnation of this great band I have been in. It’s certainly the happiest and truly faithful to the Moody Blues spirit. How long will it continue for us? I have no idea – none of us would have thought in our ‘Wildest Dreams’ we would still be up there – but it’s a fabulous ride and as long as we’re still playing from the heart and the fans are with us I’m in!”
John Lodge said, “Our Timeless Flight Tour returns to England and Wales in 2015. It is always special to me to be on stage in the UK. Every city on the tour seem to welcome the Moody Blues as their own, this is a very special feeling. To everyone who has been on this journey with us… Thank you”.
A legendary band with an enviable repertoire and reputation, The Moody Blues remain one of the top-grossing album and touring bands in existence. Graeme Edge explains the continuing popularity of the group thus; “It’s all about the music. The music is everything for us. We’ve always put the music before anything else, and that’s why I think we’ve been able to endure for so long.”
The tour starts on June 6th at the Plymouth Pavilions and visits venues in places such as Bournemouth, Oxford, Newcastle and Birmingham.
The Moody Blues tickets are priced at £41.50 regional and £48.50 London and can be booked online through www.livenation.co.uk or www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
