Joe and his band are currently packing up their passports, instruments, and cases, in anticipation of another tour storming across Europe this summer.

Dubai hosts the pleasure for Joe’s first date this Sunday on 22nd May, and then Joe heads to Morocco, and on to some of the most beautiful locations in Europe.

With an ever impressive set list, Joe will performing his classic hits, and tracks fresh from his latest platinum selling album Hard Knocks, which debuted at number one in Germany.

More than 100,000 enthusiastic German fans saw Joe live on his ‘Hard Knocks’ Tour in 2010, and his new summer tour this year is going to be just as legendary.

We look forward to seeing him perform across Europe with some amazing dates, with a variety of outdoor festivals, and indoor arenas.  There’s some very special locations, and unique venues.  It’s going to be a fabulous summer.

After this inspirational tour finishes in August, we are delighted that Joe will return to the studio in the autumn to record new material for his next album.

All tickets are now on sale, click on the LIVE link to see where Joe is playing live near you.

We hope to see you soon.

Joe Cocker will be arriving in Australia soon and to celebrate his Australian tour there will be a Limited Special Tour Edition of ‘Hard Knocks’ featuring 6x live tracks and a bonus live DVD! Make sure you don't miss out!

It’s a phrase which is ridiculously over-used, but not in this case.

When it comes to true music legends, JOE COCKER, OBE please stand up.

And whilst also over-used, not in this case - get ready for double trouble when JOE COCKER and band
return to Australia in February, accompanied by his special guests, the master of the slide guitar, and
truly BAD-TO-THE-BONE, GEORGE THOROGOOD and his Destroyers.

This dream team pairing of gritty R&B, blues and soul legends will be an early 2011 musical highlight for
audiences, returning for indoor concerts and A Day on the Green winery events.

Not only is Joe Cocker one of the most successful and popular singers of the last four decades, he is
also one of music’s most loved and most respected. This Grammy, Golden Globe and Academy
Award winning artist has 21 studio and four live albums under his belt, and his unmistakable bluesy soul
voice a musical trademark in its own right.

The Sheffield-born singer has always been a huge favourite with Australian audiences.
Cocker will be performing songs from his new album ‘Hard Knocks’ in addition to the many gems in his
illustrious back catalogue like ‘You Can Leave Your Hat On’, ‘Unchain My Heart’, ‘Up Where We
Belong’, ‘The Letter’ and ‘You Are So Beautiful’. After 40 years, Cocker remains one of rock’s preeminent
survivors and a must-see live performer.

Special guest support artist is GEORGE THOROGOOD and his band The Destroyers. The blues/rock
specialist has sold more than 15 million albums worldwide, amassing an enviable reputation and loyal
following for his scorching live performances.
