“I dreamed for 30 years of walking across Abbey Road. It was amazing but I never expected to see all this other stuff. Your guide was so knowledgeable and a great entertainer. It was nearly 4 hours of pure magic!” Peter Jennings, Canada

Afternoon Tour

We call this our Classic Rock Legends tour  because it covers sites and locations relevant to the history of so many 60s, 70s and 80s artists in the elite neighbourhoods of  Chelsea, Kensington, Holland Park, Notting Hill Gate and St. John’s Wood. Tour the sites that made the Sixties swing; where London’s hippie underground ‘counter-culture’ took off; and where the 70s punk revolution took place ! See the boutiques, pubs and clubs that MADE these decades, inspiring hundreds of well-known lyrics and melodies!

YES, you do get to walk across that famed  ABBEY ROAD  crossing!

This is the ORIGINAL London Rock Tour! Accept no substitutes or posers! If classic rock acts such as  Clapton, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Bob Marley, Queen and the Rolling Stones  are your favourites then this is the tour for you! The tour also covers where Geldof conceived Band Aid and Live Aid, where and how the  Sex Pistols  was formed, the Clash ’s neighbourhood and the  cradle of Reggae.  We pass the homes of Freddie Mercury, Jimmy Page, McCartney and Clapton, and see where Jimi Hendrix died. With so many celebrities living in these parts of London you never know who you might see in passing! For Stones fans there’s the legendary Edith Grove apartment, various of Jagger’s houses plus studios, record company offices, gig sites, secluded hotels, album cover locations and story, after story from your informed rock guide.

Departs from: Duke of York Column Monument, St. James's, London SW1Y 5AJ,  Junction of Waterloo Place and Carlton House Terrace

Rock’s 28 Most Anticipated 2023 Tours

It's been a tough couple of years for the music industry. After the COVID-19 pandemic effectively shut down live shows, many artists struggled to figure out their next moves.

But as many musicians have noted over the past two years, the gradual shift back to live performing has been a relief. Not only is touring one of the most profitable ways for artists to make a living, but the connection with audiences is also difficult to replicate on a screen.

For some, like Bruce Springsteen , 2023 will be the first time they've hit the road for a real tour since before the pandemic. (Springsteen has not toured with the E Street Band since 2017.) "I'm really looking forward to it myself," he told Rolling Stone . " We're going to have a lot of fun." Meanwhile, Joni Mitchell is scheduled to perform her  first full-length concert in more than two decades, and Blink-182 has reformed for a massive global tour.

For others, 2023 will feel a lot different than previous years. Depeche Mode will launch their first tour since the death of founding member Andy Fletcher. Dead & Company , who formed in 2015, will embark on what is reported to be their final tour together. Bob Weir has promised to put on an " exciting, celebratory, and heartfelt last run of shows ."

In short, there's a lot to look forward to in 2023. We've rounded up some of the most anticipated rock tours that we know about so far.
