​EXCLUSIVE ROD STEWART WARM UP SHOW ANNOUNCED AHEAD OF EUROPEAN TOUR
SOUTHEND CLIFFS PAVILION – APRIL 30th
Rod Stewart's management today leaked word of a behind-the-scenes, warm-up performance at Southend’s Cliffs Pavilion on April 30th.
The show comes as a stripped back, close-up run through for what is to be his biggest and best UK tour to date, kicking off in May at Bristol’s Ashton Gate Stadium, finishing off in the capital with two explosive nights at The O2 Arena in December.
For a chance to purchase tickets for this very special, informal, one-off show you can sign up HERE(https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/rodstewart-vf)
The exclusive Southend show will give Rod and his band the chance to work out the upcoming tour’s set list and even try new versions of some songs.
It will also provide fans with the chance to experience a behind the scenes look at the process of creating a touring show and the audience will be welcome to give their feedback during this very exclusive opportunity.
The warm up show comes ahead of the massive Rod Stewart Live in Concert European tour which includes 22 headline shows at football stadiums, outdoor venues and arenas across England and Scotland in support of the release of his 30th studio album Blood Red Roses which debuted at number 1.
​
Tickets for the full tour are on sale now from www.ticketmaster.co.uk 
The fully seated tour is being promoted by Cuffe and Taylor whose director Peter Taylor said: “We work with Cliffs Pavilion on a number of different touring shows so we are delighted they are able to host this exclusive warm up show for Rod’s tour.
 
“Fans are going to be in for a real treat as they get to see this very stripped back performance where Rod and his band will be finalising their tour set list, working on what fits where and maybe even asking the audience for their input.
 
“This will be a fantastic night ahead of what is set to be an amazing tour and we can’t wait to see Rod get Southend rocking!
 
“He will then travel the length and breadth of the UK and across Europe performing to hundreds of thousands of people in what will be a formidable tour for 2019.”

 
With his signature voice, style and songwriting, Rod Stewart has transcended all genres of popular music, from rock, folk, soul, R&B, and even the American standards; making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums throughout every decade of his career.
Rod’s 2019 shows promise to be filled with both classics and new hits in his dazzling signature style. As one of the best-selling artists in the history of recorded music, with more than 200 million records sold worldwide, his performance will include show stopping classics from his glittering career as well as new album Blood Red Roses - a deeply personal 13-track collection of originals and three covers.
 
Rod has earned countless of the industry’s highest awards, among them, two inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, New York Times bestselling author, Grammy™ Living Legend, and in 2016 he officially became ‘Sir Rod Stewart’ after being knighted by Prince William at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.
