After the success of their 2023 “Refueled!” tour, Rutherford has been chomping at the bit to once again get back out on the road with the band. “It’s exciting to announce that we will be touring The Mechanics again. Getting back on the road with the guys last year was a real pleasure. Even though it had been four years, we slotted back into the old ways, the old jokes and the camaraderie like it had been a day!” 

“We had so much fun on the last tour and the audiences were so gracious and warm, when we played the final show in Dusseldorf we all agreed then that we wanted to do it all again. We can’t wait to see you.”

Mike + The Mechanics, formed in 1985 by Mike Rutherford as a side project from Genesis, initially included Paul Young and Paul Carrack as frontmen. The band enjoyed major commercial success during the 80s and 90s, reaching number-one hits worldwide and selling over 10 million albums. After the untimely passing of Paul Young in 2000, the group released one more album before going on hiatus.

 In 2011, Rutherford resumed songwriting and brought in Roachford and Howar, resulting in instant chemistry. They released the album "The Road" and successfully returned to touring, continuing their journey together since then.
