Soul music lovers in Liverpool are in for an unforgettable night as Motown icons The Temptations and The Four Tops bring their legendary co-headline tour to the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool on 30 June 2026. This summer 2026 date marks the groups’ long-awaited return to the UK, four years after their last visit.

Celebrated as two of the most influential names in soul, The Temptations and The Four Tops unite once again to deliver a powerhouse evening of timeless hits, signature choreography, soaring harmonies, and pure Motown magic. Their 2026 UK tour has already been hailed as one of the year’s must-see live music events, promising fans of all ages a nostalgic journey through six decades of chart-topping classics.

Fans can look forward to live performances of global favourites including “My Girl”, “Get Ready”, “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone”, “Reach Out I’ll Be There”, “It’s the Same Old Song”, “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)” and many more Motown anthems that defined an era.

This uplifting, feel-good show has been praised for transporting audiences back to a golden era of soul. As The Northern Echo noted, “It’s as if, for just a small moment in time, the pressures and complexity of life have been forgotten as the music from a golden era takes you on a journey to simpler times.”

Otis Williams (The Temptations) shares his affection for British audiences:
“I always love coming to the UK. The people make us feel so at home. They’ve always strongly supported us – loyal, dedicated, and appreciative. What’s not to love?”

Lawrence Payton Jr. (The Four Tops) highlights the perfect pairing of the two groups:
“The Temptations’ choreography is matched by no one. With the Four Tops, it’s the vocal power and those beautiful harmonies. It’s the perfect contrast – we’re not going to out-dance them and they’re not going to out-sing us.”
