Iconic British pop-soul duo Lighthouse Family are bringing their UK to Birmingham in 2027.

The tour will see the duo revisit Ocean Drive alongside fan favourites from across their celebrated catalogue.

With soulful vocals, uplifting melodies and heartfelt songwriting, Lighthouse Family became one of Britain’s most successful musical partnerships. Formed in Newcastle in the early 1990s by vocalist Tunde Baiyewu and songwriter, keyboardist and producer Paul Tucker, the duo went on to sell more than 15 million albums worldwide.

Their debut album, Ocean Drive, released in 1995, introduced a sound built around Baiyewu’s distinctive voice and Tucker’s gift for melodic, emotionally direct songs. Featuring Lifted, Ocean Drive and Goodbye Heartbreak, it became a breakthrough success, achieving six-times platinum status in the UK. The 1997 follow-up, Postcards from Heaven, matched that achievement, delivering further favourites including High, Raincloud and Lost in Space.

Their third album, Whatever Gets You Through the Day, followed in 2001. In 2019, they returned with Blue Sky in Your Head, their first studio album in 18 years, which reached number three in the UK album chart.

Lighthouse Family play Symphony Hall, Birmingham on Friday 9 April. Tickets go on sale at 9.30am on Friday 13 November here.
