One of the UK’s most innovative and influential bands, 10cc have announced their return to the UK concert scene in 2026 with the typically tongue-in-cheek ‘And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour’ — celebrating a genre-defying repertoire that continues to captivate audiences across the world.
Kicking-off in March, the 22-date tour will hit major cities nationwide, culminating in a return to London’s 5,200-seat Royal Albert Hall in July.

Fronted by co-founder Graham Gouldman, 10cc have undergone a remarkable renaissance in recent years, evolving from cult status into a mainstream concert draw that sells-out top venues from Stockholm to San Francisco and Amsterdam to Auckland and Sydney.
Expect a hit-packed setlist including era-defining anthems like ‘Rubber Bullets’, ‘Donna’, ‘Art for Art’s Sake’, ‘Dreadlock Holiday’, and, of course, the eternal ‘I’m Not In Love’ — recently revisited by Gouldman and fellow co-founder Kevin Godley in a moving BBC Radio 2 Piano Room session, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra to mark the 50th anniversary of their classic album ‘The Original Soundtrack’.
Gouldman said: “The tour title is not an expression of exasperation, but a humorous nod to the fact we’re out doing it again.”
Adding: “We’ve had the Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour, then the Ultimate Ultimate tour and couldn’t add a third. Our audiences know what to expect – hit after hit after hit, with a few variations.”
Earlier this year, Gouldman made headlines by attending his first-ever cricket match — a decades-in-the-making moment given he wrote the ultimate theme tune for the sport, “Dreadlock Holiday” (“I don’t like cricket — I love it!”). The story was picked up by the BBC and national newspapers, delighting fans worldwide.
A few weeks later, it was announced that Gouldman had been awarded an MBE for services to music in the King’s Birthday Honours List.
The band line-up comprises:
Graham Gouldman - bass guitars, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals
Paul Burgess - drums, percussion, keyboards
Keith Hayman - keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals
Iain Hornal - electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin,
keyboards, vocals
