The legendary Funk & Soul band, Tower of Power, is returning to Europe in November 2024! With exclusive concerts in several major cities, they are set to once again showcase their unmatched energy and musical brilliance. These shows are a must-see for any fan of Funk and Soul, as Tower of Power has established themselves over their 56-year history as one of the most iconic bands that everyone should experience live at least once.

Since their formation in 1968 by Emilio Castillo and ‘Doc’ Kupka, the band has continually refined their unique sound. Their debut album ‘East Bay Grease’ and the 1972 hit album ‘Bump City’, featuring the successful singles ‘You’re Still A Young Man’ and ‘Down to The Nightclub’, laid the foundation for their impressive career. The 1970s saw the band rise to fame with classics like ‘So Very Hard to Go’ and ‘What Is Hip?’.

Despite the ups and downs of the music industry, Tower of Power continues to tour relentlessly and record new albums. Their love for the stage and passion for music remain as strong as ever. This was brilliantly demonstrated with their 50th-anniversary concert ’50 Years of Funk & Soul: Live at the Fox Theater’ in 2018 in Oakland.

The band has not only achieved their own success but has also accompanied legendary artists such as Otis Redding, Elton John, Santana, The Grateful Dead, and many others. Their unmistakable ‘Oakland-Soul’ sound is as iconic as the musical styles of Detroit, Memphis, and Philadelphia that inspired them.

Tower of Power remains a powerful and dynamic presence in the music world. Their upcoming European concerts promise unforgettable evenings filled with infectious grooves and vibrant party atmospheres.
