Art-rock pioneers, 10cc to bring their new tour to Bournemouth in 2026

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.

The band will return to Bournemouth Pavilion on Wednesday 25 March 2026.

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’. 

The last time 10cc visited Bournemouth was part of their 10cc in Concert Tour in Spring 2024.

“The tour title is not an expression of exasperation, but a humorous nod to the fact we’re out doing it again,” says Gouldman. “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.

Drummer Paul Burgess, a fixture with 10cc since 1973 and also known for his work with Camel, Magna Carta, Jethro Tull, and others, will perform alongside singer and bassist Graham Gouldman and guitarist Rick Fenn, who joined the band in 1976 and has collaborated with Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason. They will also be joined on stage by keyboardist Keith Hayman and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ian Hornal.
