The band from the 1960s and ’70s that just keeps giving.
Featuring Thijs Van Leer, Pierre Van Der Linden, Menno Gootjes, and Udo Pannekeet, Focus return to UK and European concert stages during 2026.
Fresh from a successful 2025 tour, and the 2024 release of their new studio album Focus 12, extensive UK and European touring as well as a month-long tour of the USA (alongside Asia, Martin Turner – ex Wishbone Ash – and Curved Air), they will traverse Europe to give their loyal fans what they always want – a good time, and timeless music.
Each song breathtakingly unique, and each performance different to the one before.
And now for the interesting facts of Focus: From Polydor’s record plant closing to other bands, to press nothing but Focus for ten days to meet demand, to being a favourite of Bob Harris on The Old Grey Whistle Test, and to holding positions in the UK top ten charts in both singles and albums.Focus have featured in the orchestra pit for Victor Spinetti’s musical Hair; have claimed a knighthood; soundtracked on a 2010 football World Cup commercial featuring Wayne Rooney; and not forgetting that Hocus Pocus was featured in the iconic car chase sequence, after the bank heist in 2017 movie Baby Driver and also featured in Disney’s Classic Trolls World Tour movie, 2020.
The men of Focus are looking forward to seeing you all at their favourite venues, and a few exciting new ones too.
