Following their successful inaugural tour across Australia and New Zealand in 2017, the pedigree of hallowed '60s trio Cream - Ginger Baker's son Kofi Baker, Jack Bruce's son Malcolm Bruce and Eric Clapton's nephew* Will Johns - have come together for the first time in the UK to pay homage to the band’s extraordinary legacy with The Music Of Cream - 50th Anniversary World Tour. Tickets are available here.

The four-date UK tour, which starts at the Glasgow O2 Academy on Friday, November 23rd, celebrates 50 years since the original lineup's farewell UK concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London on November 26th, 1968.

Having already received rave reviews in Australia and New Zealand from the media and fans alike, The Music Of Cream - 50th Anniversary World Tour is primed to take over the UK by celebrating the music and legacy their family members created. Be prepared to hear personal stories and songs such as Sunshine of Your Love, Crossroads, Spoonful and White Room performed across a comprehensive set, which will also see Kofi Baker (drums), Malcolm Bruce (bass, vocals) and Will Johns (guitar, vocals) interplay with footage of their fathers and mentors on the big screen, along with never-before-seen footage and photos.

The multi-media concert experience has been specially created for the 50th Anniversary Tour, providing some of rock’s most memorable moments with a new lease on life.

During its heartbreakingly short lifespan, Cream was an explosive musical cocktail that provided the super-group blueprint for others to follow. The group's third album, Wheels of Fire (1968), was the world's first platinum-selling double album, and collectively they sold more than 15 million copies of their albums worldwide. Not surprisingly, Rolling Stone ranked the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group (inducted in 1993) as 67th in their '100 Greatest Artists of All Time' list.

Apart from an equally brief reunion in 2005 of seven shows at London's Royal Albert Hall and New York's Madison Square Garden, Cream retained an almost mythological status in the music world, right up until the passing of Jack Bruce in 2014. This, for many fans, marked the end of an era and an acceptance that there would never really be another opportunity to celebrate the group's legacy. That is, until the Music Of Cream: 50th Anniversary World Tour hit Australia and New Zealand last year.
