Rod Stewart is set to rock the Highlands next summer!
CK Events, in association with leading concert producers Liz Hobbs Group Ltd, are delighted to announce that the legendary singer will rock the Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC's Tulloch Caledonian Stadium on Saturday 17th July 2010.
One of the most successful performers of all time and with sold out concerts across the globe, Rod's concert in the Highlands is expected to be one of the greatest outdoor gigs of 2010.
With one of the most distinctive voices in rock history, Rod Stewart continues to develop whole new audiences of fans, and the release of his latest album, SOULBOOK, a collection of classic Sixties/Seventies-era soul favourites, all newly recorded by the quintessential "blue eyed soul" singer, continues to define his status as a superstar of our generation.
Rod recently said in Rolling Stone's "Greatest Singers of All Time" issue that "This is the album I've waited my whole lifetime to record. These are the songs that I've danced to, made love to, cried to and yes, even fell on the floor to as a young man in the infancy of my career. These songs and singers were the oxygen that fuelled my passion to sing. When I was a skinny, cocky, all-mouth-and-trousers teenager living in North London without two pennies to rub together, I discovered the artistry of Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, The Temptations, The Four Tops and so many more. They were my Gods and my heroes."
Liz Hobbs said:"We're delighted to be working with CK Events to develop music in the Highlands and it is a great credit to Inverness to have an artiste of Rod Stewart's stature choosing to play at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium."
Caley Thistle chairman George Fraser welcomed the announcement. "In a challenging financial environment for football clubs, the opportunity to have an Artist of this calibre performing here is a very positive step".
Tickets for Rod Stewart at Tulloch Caledonian Stadium go on sale on Thursday 3rd December at 9am. Tickets are priced from
