About

One of the most distinctive voices in American music, Christopher Cross will return to the UK for a special nine date tour in May 2026, performing iconic hits from a remarkable career spanning over four decades.

The multi Grammy winning artist, best known for timeless classics like 'Sailing', 'Ride Like the Wind', and 'Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)' – will be joined by very special guest Chris Difford, co-founder of Squeeze and one of Britain's most respected and decorated songwriters.

In 1980, Cross made Grammy history by sweeping the "Big Four" categories for the first time ever - Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year, with his self-titled debut album. He went on to win an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for 'Arthur's Theme' and has released over a dozen critically acclaimed albums. In 2020, he marked his 40th anniversary with The Complete Works – a definitive box set celebrating his extraordinary career.

Supporting Christopher Cross on the tour is Chris Difford, the legendary lyricist behind 'Cool for Cats', 'Up the Junction', and 'Tempted'. A founding member of Squeeze, Difford's songs are the soundtrack of a generation, filled with wit, warmth, and raw honesty. His solo performances are equally powerful – part musical journey, part stand-up storytelling.
