Strap in, rock disciples โ The Classic Rock Show have fired the starting pistol on their brand new 2026 world tour, and theyโre steering a fully-loaded wall of amps straight back onto UK soil over the next few weeks. This isnโt nostalgia-by-numbers either. This is three decades of the loudest, proudest, hair-raising rock anthems ever committed to vinyl, CD, cassette, Minidisc (steady now), and YouTube playlists everywhere.
Teaming up with CMP Entertainment, the band are rolling through January and February 2026, delivering a show thatโs equal parts precision, power, and pure rock theatre. Young rockers, old rockers, air-guitar champions, and people who still argue about whether Physical Graffiti is Zeppelinโs best album โ youโre all invited. ๐ค
๐ NOTE-FOR-NOTE. RIFF-FOR-RIFF. NO MESSING.
Fresh off clocking up a frankly ridiculous 100 million YouTube views, The Classic Rock Show donโt mess about. This is note-perfect vocals, era-defining guitar tones, and a multi-million-dollar sound and light show that hits harder than the first crash of Back In Black through a decent PA.
The setlist? Absolute filth (in the best way). A thunderous tribute to the architects of rock itself, with material from:
- Pink Floyd
- Led Zeppelin
- Queen
- The Rolling Stones
- The Eagles
- AC/DC
- The Beatles
- Dire Straits
- Meat Loaf
- ZZ Top
- Eric Clapton
- Aerosmith
- Lynyrd Skynyrd
- The Who
- Boston
- Toto
- Van Halen
- Fleetwood Mac
And thatโs before the show-stopping guitar duel kicks off and the crowd collectively loses its mind. Anthem after anthem. Solo after solo. Goosebumps guaranteed. ๐ฅโก
๐ค โBIGGER. BRIGHTER. LOUDER.โ
Speaking about the tour, vocalist, guitarist, and musical director James Cole summed it up perfectly:
โThe Classic Rock Show is building momentum year on year and weโre thrilled to announce our biggest tour yet. Bigger, brighter, louder. We are proud to be able to celebrate the best genre in music and keep the legacy of our heroes alive on the live stage.โ
Correct answer. No notes. ๐

โก RIFF REPORT VERDICT
This is proper job rock โnโ roll โ no gimmicks, no shortcuts, just massive songs played loud, proud, and with deadly accuracy. If youโve ever punched the air to a Floyd solo, screamed a Queen chorus, or driven too fast listening to AC/DCโฆ this oneโs for you.
See you down the front, butt. ๐ค๐ฅ
