Legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot will make a long-awaited return to the Royal Albert Hall on 24 May 2016 as part of his first UK tour since 1985.

After 50 years of hit making and with international album sales well into the multi-millions, Lightfoot resides with some very exclusive company atop the list of music’s all-time greats and has has seen his songs recorded and performed by the likes of Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash and Barbara Streisand.

Amongst his vast song catalogue are such immortals as Early Morning Rain, If You Could Read My Mind (watch below), Carefree Highway and Sundown.

In 2012 Lightfoot was presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, before being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame just months later.

The tour will feature Gordon Lightfoot’s best-known hits as well as deep album cuts for the die-hard fanatics, all woven together with some of the singer’s own behind-the-scenes stories and personal anecdotes from his historic 50-year musical career.

This 2016 concert will mark the acclaimed Canadian songwriter’s seventh appearance at London’s Royal Albert Hall after performing at the venue annually between 1971 and 1975, and most recently on 18 May 1981.

In a recent Reddit AMA, Lightfoot singled out the Hall as one of his favourite venues to play, and he was also included in Sir Peter Blake’s spectacular Appearing at the Royal Albert Hall mural – see if you can spot him..!
