The Drifters Set To Return To P&J Live
The Drifters have announced their return to the stage with over 100 UK tour dates in 2022, performing all their classic hits from the last six decades. They’re bringing their live show for one night only at Aberdeen’s P&J Live on Saturday 3rd December 2022.
The legendary group have previously been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, listed among the greatest artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine and have produced an incredible list of hits - including; Saturday Night at the Movies, Come on Over to My Place, Stand By Me, Under the Boardwalk and many, many more!
Following the phenomenal success of their 65th anniversary tour, The Drifters will be back on the road with a line up hand-picked by Tina Treadwell herself - President of the Treadwell Entertainment Group and owner of The Drifters name.
Tina’s father started the group with Clyde McPhatter and brought in several greats thereafter such as Johnny Moore and Ben E King. Her mother Faye was later responsible for bringing the group to the UK and overseeing hits such as More than a number and Kissin’ in the back row. After the passing of her parents, it was down to Tina to continue the legacy of The Drifters name.
Tina, who previously worked for Disney as an executive producer and casting director, believes this current line-up is one of the best to date and looks forward to the upcoming concert tour. “I am very excited that following our 65th anniversary year we have a new show for the fans who we invite to join us in celebrating this incredible and everlasting story of The Drifters.”
Louise Stewart, Head of Entertainment, Exhibitions & Marketing at P&J Live, says: “The Drifters are absolutely fantastic live, with hit after hit seeing many up dancing in the aisles. The band have that classic smooth soul sound and over their 66 years in the business have gained fans of all ages. We can’t wait to welcome them back to Aberdeen for another night of American soul.”
