Supertramp star and supremely successful solo musician Roger Hodgson looks forward to a springtime tour in May of 2017. A pioneer of progressive rock, his distinctive tenor voice and marked talent for melodies has seen him become world famous and earn international acclaim.

His exciting upcoming tour takes him to Symphony Hall at Birmingham and two nights at illustrious London venue Royal Albert Hall. Roger Hodgson tickets are on sale right now through Gigantic. Don’t delay and book yours today!

Gifted a guitar at the age of 12 from his father amidst his parent’s divorce, Hodgson took the instrument to boarding school and was taught only three chords by a teacher in attendance. He quickly became very adept at playing and within a year gave his first concert of nine original songs to the school. After leaving school he joined the band People Like Us followed by a stint in pop band Argosy.

Following the break of the Argosy, Hodgson beat off a massive 92 other competitors who also answered the ad in Melody maker to successfully audition to become the guitarist for Supertramp, only to pass on to the role to Richard Palmer the following day, accepting the position for bassist instead.

Supertramp would soon become one of the world’s leading prog rock bands, selling more than 60 million albums, including the massive hit record Breakfast In America which has singularly sold more than 20 million copies. As the band was based in Los Angeles, Hodgson would lose the intimate connection with the fellow members when he moved with his family to northern California and soon started to think about producing solo material.

His first release was In The Eye Of The Storm and was an immediate success following leaving the band, selling over 2 million copies. His success continued with the release of the albums Hai Hai and Open The Door.

Artist Bio

Roger Hodgson, the legendary songwriter and singer, formerly of Supertramp, returns for another magical evening at the Royal Albert Hall on 29 April 2016, 8pm.

Hodgson said, “There are many wonderful venues in the world but there’s only one Albert Hall. I’m delighted to be returning to my home country to play for everyone next year”.

Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the band’s innovator and driving force through their “golden years”. He helped define a generation of progressive rock and was the composer and voice of most of Supertramp’s universally enduring anthems “Breakfast in America,” “Give a Little Bit,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “The Logical Song,” “Dreamer,” “It’s Raining Again,” “School,” “Fool’s Overture” “Child of Vision,” “Hide in Your Shell,” classic hits that helped the band sell well over 60 million albums.

Hodgson, who won the Ivor Novello Award for The Logical Song in 1980, is one of the most gifted composers, lyricists and performers of our time. Hodgson is the soulful musical genius who put the ‘Super’ in Supertramp and is still bringing those songs to life onstage around the world for those who love them. As Rolling Stone said, “All these years I thought I was a Supertramp fan when actually I was and am a Roger Hodgson fan. What a show! ‘WOW' is all I can say.”
