The Drifters have announced their return to the stage and are bringing their live show for one night only at Aberdeen’s P&J Live in December.
The group has announced more than 100 UK tour dates in 2022, performing all the classic hits from the last six decades.
They will perform in the Granite City on Saturday, December 3.
The legendary group has previously been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, listed among the greatest artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and has produced an incredible list of hits including Saturday Night at the Movies, Come on Over to My Place, Stand By Me, Under the Boardwalk and many more.
Following the phenomenal success of their 65th anniversary tour, The Drifters will be back on the road with a line-up hand-picked by Tina Treadwell herself – President of the Treadwell Entertainment Group and owner of The Drifters name.
Tina’s father started the group with Clyde McPhatter and brought in several greats thereafter such as Johnny Moore and Ben E King.
Her mother Faye was later responsible for bringing the group to the UK and overseeing hits such as More Than a Number and Kissin’ in the Back Row. After the passing of her parents, it was down to Tina to continue the legacy of The Drifters name.
Tina, who previously worked for Disney as an executive producer and casting director, believes this current line-up is one of the best to date and looks forward to the upcoming concert tour.
She said: “I am very excited that following our 65th anniversary year we have a new show for the fans who we invite to join us in celebrating this incredible and everlasting story of The Drifters.”
Louise Stewart, head of entertainment, exhibitions and marketing at P&J Live, said: “The Drifters are absolutely fantastic live, with hit after hit seeing many up dancing in the aisles.
"The band has that classic smooth soul sound and over its 66 years in the business has gained fans of all ages.
"We can’t wait to welcome them back to Aberdeen for another night of American soul.”
