SOUL ICON KENNY THOMAS ARRIVES IN LONDON ON BIGGEST EVER UK TOUR

0

Multi-platinum selling British soul singer Kenny Thomas, who rose to prominence with a string of hits in the 90s, will embark upon his largest ever UK tour in 2026.

‘The Unstoppable Tour: The Very Best of Kenny Thomas’, arrives at the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith on Saturday 21st March for what will be Kenny’s biggest ever headline show to date.

The tour dates coincide with the 35th anniversary of Kenny’s debut album ‘Voices’, which saw him make an instant impact on the charts with singles such as ‘Thinking About Your Love’, ‘Outstanding’, and ‘Best of You’.

Kenny will perform all of these hits, plus a selection of soon to be fan favourites from his recently released first new studio album in 15 years, ‘Unstoppable’ on this UK tour, where he’ll be joined by special guests and fellow 90s luminaries, Damage.

The four piece rose to fame in 1997 with chart-topping hits from their debut album ‘Forever’ like ‘Love 2 Love’, ‘Forever’, and a cover of Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’, and on sophomore album, ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’. A defining force in UK R&B with soulful vocals and slick choreography, make Damage the perfect accompaniment for the tour.

On new album ‘Unstoppable’, on which Classic Pop magazine commented ‘… Thomas still sings like a dream’, in a rave review, was preceded by the huge singles ‘If I Can’t Have You’, the BBC Radio 2-featured collaboration with Kenny’s long-time friend Kim Wilde ‘Shout Out’, and the infectious ‘Stand Up for Love’.

Amongst the originals on the album, there is also an emotional re-working of ‘Thinking About Your Love’, Kenny’s iconic track that saw him first emerge as one of British music’s most soulful voices in the early 1990’s.

For anyone familiar with Kenny’s classic soul hits from this era, also including songs likes ‘Outstanding’, ‘Best Of You’ and ‘, the irresistible energy and infectious grooves of these 11 new songs will be instantly familiar. For fans and newcomers alike, the wisdom of Kenny’s voice is utterly compelling, even when it’s bouncing over seemingly carefree bangers.

The album marks an incredible career resurgence story for Kenny, who has collaborated on ‘Unstoppable’ with Stockholm based musician Opolopo (Jungle, Gregory Porter, Omar), and Eliot Kennedy – one of Kenny’s original creative partners on his 90s hits – who has also worked with the likes of Aretha Franklin, Mary J Blige, Gary Barlow and Bryan Adams.

From Kenny’s 90s heyday of multi-platinum singles and albums, BRIT Award nominations and an incredible run of Top of the Pops performances (9 performances in just 3 years) to the present day, Kenny has re-established himself, and then some. In 2024 he completed a mammoth headline tour which included a sold out show at the London Palladium.
