Squeeze Returns to Radio City Music Hall with 'Cheap Trick,' 7/13
July 13 at 8PM, Squeeze will make a triumphant return to Radio City Music Hall where they last performed during their critically-acclaimed 2007 tour. The group continues to thrill audiences with the combination of Chris Difford's lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook's melodies, reminding fans worldwide just why they have left such an indelible impression on the music scene. With hits such as 'Tempted,' 'Cool for Cats,' 'Goodbye Girl,' 'Pulling Mussels (From The Shell),' and 'Up the Junction,' it is no surprise that earlier this year, Squeeze received the prestigious PRS For Music Heritage Award to recognize their work as one of the UK's legendary music acts. Difford and Tilbrook will be joined on tour once again by Squeeze veteran John Bentley (bass) and The Fluffers' Simon Hanson (drums) and Stephen Large (keyboards).
