In 2011, Mike + The Mechanics returned with a brand new album, The Road, and a European tour. The album The Road features two news singers - Andrew Roachford, who is well knows for his own career and Tim Howar, a Canadian singer and actor, who also has his own band called van Tramp. The 2011 tour was a success - read also our review here. The new line-up will also go on the road in 2012.
The tour has started in Kiel, Germany (June 24) with a surprising setlist (see news item here).The band will continue to tour in the UK and mainly Germany.Performances include both, festival and solo shows.More dates have been added for the summer.
