40 years since double Brit-Award winners, The Fine Young Cannibals (FYC)*, stormed into the UK charts with their debut single and album in 1985, lead singer, Roland Gift presents Fine Young Cannibals at 40, at the London Palladium on 2 October and Birmingham Symphony Hall, on 12 November, followed by a further x6 dates across the UK in May 2026. As they celebrate 40 fine years, the band’s biggest chart hit, and their first No1 in the USA, ‘She Drives Me Crazy’ has become the hottest track on everyone’s lips in 2025 so far, as the soundtrack for the Chanel 2025 handbag campaign, alongside Dua Lipa and K-pop star Jennie of BLACKPINK, with the track bubbling high on Spotify since re-release this March and going viral on socials with over 320,000,000 views across TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
Roland Gift comments, “In the Fine Young Cannibals, we always used to say we wanted people to be playing our records 25 years after they were released, the way we listened to Sam Cook, Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye – it looks like we did that, and much more. Johnny, Good Thing, She Drives Me Crazy, I’m Not The Man I Used To Be, Suspicious Minds, I still love playing these songs and people still love hearing them. So come and join us in London and Birmingham for our early tour dates, and again in 2026 as we hit the rest of the UK throughout May. It could change your life, at the very least it will be a great night out.”
In 5 short years, and across 2 iconic albums, Fine Young Cannibals dominated charts worldwide, snagging 2 Brit awards, 3 Grammy nominations, an Ivor Novello Award and 3 US No1s (The Raw & The Cooked album and the singles She Drives Me Crazy and Good Thing).
Experience the distinctive vocals and performance of a sound that defined an era – live on tour.
