Hootie & the Blowfish return to the UK for the first time in eight years in May 2027, bringing special guests Spin Doctors, to their Manchester date at Albert Hall
Hootie & the Blowfish broke through in 1994 with Cracked Rear View, blending pop, folk, blues, soul and rock into a sound that resonated with audiences around the globe. The album has sold more than 22 million copies worldwide and features hits including ‘Hold My Hand’, ‘Let Her Cry’ and ‘Only Wanna Be With You’. It reached No. 1, earned double Diamond certification status, led to the band winning two GRAMMY Awards and to this day ranks among the 10 best-selling studio albums in music history. After stepping back from full-time touring in 2009, the band returned to the road for 2019’s sold-out Group Therapy Tour and 2024’s Summer Camp with Trucks Tour, making their rare reunion shows a must-see concert experience.
They will be joined by very special guests Spin Doctors. The alt-rock and jam-band icons are celebrating the 35th anniversary of their debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite. The album’s enduring singles ‘Two Princes’ and ‘Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong’, with ‘Two Princes’ earning a GRAMMY nomination for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
