Focus

Stroud

Dates: 24/04/2026

Venue: The Sub Rooms

The band from the 1960/70’s that just keeps giving.

Featuring Thijs Van Leer, Pierre Van Der Linden, Menno Gootjes and Udo Pannekeet, Focus return to UK and European concert stages during 2025.

Fresh from a successful 2024 which included the release of their new studio album Focus 12, extensive European/UK touring as well as a month-long tour of the USA (alongside Asia, Martin Turner ex Wishbone Ash and Curved Air), they will traverse Europe to give their loyal fans what they always want - a good time, and timeless music.

Each song breathtakingly unique, and each performance different to the one before.

How much longer will Focus tour? We have had 50 years of this amazingly spectacular show, and Focus have achieved so much in this time span. From Polydor's record plant closing to other bands, to press nothing but Focus for ten days to meet demand, to being a favourite of Bob Harris on The Old Grey Whistle Test, and to holding positions in the UK top ten charts in both singles and albums.

And now for the interesting facts of Focus: Focus have featured in the orchestra pit for Victor Spinetti’s musical Hair; have claimed a knighthood; soundtracked on a 2010 football World Cup commercial featuring Wayne Rooney; and not forgetting that Hocus Pocus was featured in the iconic car chase sequence, after the bank heist in 2017 movie Baby Driver and also featured in Disney’s Classic Trolls World Tour movie, 2020.

The men of Focus are looking forward to seeing you all on their ‘Focus 25 Tour’ at their favourite venues, and a few exciting new ones too.
