Simply Red return to Lucca

Lucca has a long history with Simply Red. The band last appeared at Lucca Summer Festival on 1 July 2023, performing during an edition that also featured artists including Bob Dylan, Blur, Robbie Williams and The Chemical Brothers.

The 2027 date has another remarkable connection with the band's history in the city. Simply Red performed at Lucca Summer Festival on 30 July 2006. Their new concert takes place on 30 July again, exactly 21 years later.

It makes this much more than another stop on the calendar for Italian fans.

More than 40 years of Simply Red

Led by Mick Hucknall, Simply Red have spent more than four decades combining soul, pop, funk and R&B.

Their catalogue includes songs such as “Holding Back the Years,” “Stars,” “If You Don't Know Me by Now,” “Fairground,” “Something Got Me Started” and “Money's Too Tight (to Mention)” — tracks that have remained central to their live shows and helped build an international audience across generations.

The band celebrated its 40-year career with an extensive anniversary tour, followed in 2026 by the live release Holding Back the Years: 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago. The recording captures the energy of their anniversary shows and revisits some of the biggest songs from across their career.

Simply Red have also released Recollections, a collection of 40 newly recorded versions of classics from their catalogue.
