Nostalgia at its best, **SMOKIE** return to Australia for the Greatest Hits Tour in February 2027

Smokie’s Greatest Hits Tour will celebrate the band’s incredible catalogue, featuring all the classics fans know and love: including **‘Lay Back in the Arms of Someone’, ‘Needles and Pins’, ‘I’ll Meet You at Midnight’, ‘Oh Carol’** and of course, the worldwide smash **‘Living Next Door to Alice’** which has sold more than 10 million copies globally. Their enduring popularity in Australia is undeniable, with Smokie’s ***All The Best*** compilation selling an incredible 230,000 copies locally.

A glance at the Guinness Book of Hit Singles might suggest that Smokie’s success was purely a 1970s phenomenon and with seven Australian Top 20 hits during that decade, it’s easy to see why. Their sound blends irresistible, hook-filled songs with distinctive soft-rock harmonies, proudly influenced by the classic American sound. At the heart of it all is Smokie’s unmistakable vocal blend: a rasping, emotion-charged lead voice wrapped in rich melodic harmonies, creating a unique and bittersweet sound that remains instantly recognisable.

Packed with nostalgia and hit after hit, Smokie continue to touch hearts around the world.
