Graham Gouldman — the songwriting wizard behind 10cc’s timeless hits and one of Britain’s most quietly iconic musical masterminds — has just dropped a tidy announcement that his biggest-ever Heart Full of Songs tour is coming in 2026. C’mon butt, this is proper good news for anyone who loves classic songwriting, silky-smooth melodies, and stories from a bloke who’s penned more hits than most bands could dream of. 🤘✨
🎤 A TOUR BUILT FOR SONGWRITING LOVERS
If you’ve never been to a Heart Full of Songs show before, let me paint the picture for you — no pyros, no lasers, no daft inflatable mascots. Just Graham, a guitar, and a treasure chest of songs that shaped British music.
It’s intimate, warm, funny, and gives you that “sitting in the living room with a legend” vibe. Tidy!
Expect classics like:
- “I’m Not in Love”
- “The Things We Do for Love”
- “Dreadlock Holiday”
- “Bus Stop” (yes, the one he wrote for The Hollies!)
- And a stack of deep cuts and stories from across his five-decade career.
It’s the type of gig where you’ll laugh, cry, reminisce, and probably phone your mam afterwards to tell her how lush it was.
🎸 WHY 2026 IS HIS BIGGEST TOUR YET
Gouldman isn’t just touring — he’s expanding the entire production, adding more dates than ever before, hitting more cities, and bringing a seriously seasoned band along for the ride. Fans across the UK will finally get a chance to catch these beautifully crafted sets in theatres and venues that suit the mood perfectly.
Rumour has it he’s also sprinkling in some fresh material… 👀
Brace yourselves — even at this stage in his career, the man still writes hooks better than half the charts.
🧡 A CELEBRATION OF ONE OF MUSIC’S GREAT HUMBLE HEROES
Graham Gouldman has always been one of those “if you know, you KNOW” legends. Songwriters worship him. Musicians study him. And fans adore his storytelling.
The 2026 tour looks like the ultimate victory lap — a chance to give these songs the spotlight they’ve always deserved.
And fair play, mun… it’s about time!
