At the end of 2021, Uriah Heep announced an extensive European tour for 2022. The tour, 61 dates in 28 countries, is the ultimate celebration of one of the most important British rock bands of all time.

2020 saw Uriah Heep celebrate her 50th birthday. Unfortunately, world events forced the band to cancel their 50th anniversary tour. But two years later, the group is ready to celebrate this extraordinary event.

Mick Box says, “Finally, we can celebrate our 50th anniversary now that we’ve left ‘Lockdown into Rockdown.’ We may be two years later than the actual year, but hey, that makes the celebration even more special. The mighty ‘Heep’ are still ‘Eavy, still ‘Umble’ and oh so proud of this achievement, and we can’t wait to be on the road, playing hard and sharing this celebration with our wonderful fans. ‘Appy days!’

Uriah Heep have proven themselves to be a stunning live band – retaining die-hard fans and constantly gaining a whole new audience.

Uriah Heep are one of the “big four” bands in rock, along with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, and certainly one of the most intriguing bands, both musically and lyrically, to emerge from heavy rock. Evoking a time when prog, hard rock and heavy metal coexisted in an era of glorious and revolutionary music, Uriah Heep went from inexperienced studio musicians with everything to prove to bona fide rock stars.

Having sold over 40 million albums worldwide, over the years Uriah Heep has influenced many different metal bands around the world, some of the most popular being Dio. Bands like A-ha, King Diamond, Krokus, Demons & Wizards, Fifth Angel and Axel Rudi Pell have all cited Uriah Heep as a personal influence band, while WASP, Tesla and Blackmore’s Night have all covered the band’s songs. .

Uriah Heep has released 24 studio albums over the course of his career – the first being 1970’s…Very ‘Eavy…Very ‘Umble, and the most recent being 2018’s Living The Dream.
