July 13 at 8PM, Squeeze will make a triumphant return to Radio City Music Hall where they last performed during their critically-acclaimed 2007 tour. The group continues to thrill audiences with the combination of Chris Difford's lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook's melodies, reminding fans worldwide just why they have left such an indelible impression on the music scene. With hits such as "Tempted," "Cool for Cats," "Goodbye Girl," "Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)," and "Up the Junction," it is no surprise that earlier this year, Squeeze received the prestigious PRS For Music Heritage Award to recognize their work as one of the UK's legendary music acts. Difford and Tilbrook will be joined on tour once again by Squeeze veteran John Bentley (bass) and The Fluffers' Simon Hanson (drums) and Stephen Large (keyboards).

Cheap Trick may be one of the most covered bands of all time. Since the 70s, they've been blending elements of pop, punk and even metal in a way that is instantly catchy and recognizable. With timeless classics such as "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender" and "The Flame," Cheap Trick are a musical institution. With more than 5,000 performances, 20 million records sold, 29 movie soundtracks and 40 gold and platinum recording awards, the band was honored in October 2007 by NARAS for their contributions to the music industry. Their most current release, The Latest, continues Cheap Trick's reign as power-pop progenitors as they celebrate their 35th anniversary together.

Tickets are $39.50-$99.50 (inclusive of $4.50 facility fee) and are available via all Ticketmaster outlets, online at ticketmaster.com, or charge by phone at 800.745.3000.
