British progressive hard rock icons URIAH HEEP are set to embark on an extensive farewell tour in 2025. The tour is slated to begin in February and is expected to span two to three years, featuring performances across all corners of the globe.
On Thursday, September 19th 2024,URIAH HEEP guitarist Mick Box released a video message in which he said: “Hello there. It’s Mick from the mighty HEEP. And who can believe next year is 55 years since the band started, and that’s just so amazing. I know many of you have been with us since the beginning, and we do thank you for that. It means the world to us. Unfortunately, we have made the decision to wind down touring the whole world next year under the title of ‘Magician’s Farewell’. In fact, ‘The Magician’s Farewell”. Over the next two to three years, we intend to play as many places as possible and see you all for the one last time. We will continue to play shows, but these will be limited to festivals and weekends and things like that. But the tour dates will be announced starting February 2025. So we hope to see you all out there. On behalf of the band and myself, I wanna thank you all for the continued support you have always given us. It means the world to us, and it means so much to us, and I just wanna thank you for that. Happy days”.
URIAH HEEP’s current lineup includes Box, frontman Bernie Shaw, bassist Dave Rimmer, drummer Russell Gilbrook and keyboardist Phil Lanzon.
