The Temptations and The Four Tops are bringing their joint tour to the Bournemouth International Centre in Bournemouth, Dorset, on Wednesday, 1 July 2026. This rare performance is part of a short three-date visit to the UK, which also includes stops in Liverpool and London.
The show marks the first time these two famous groups have toured the country together in four years. It also serves as a celebration for the 70th anniversary of The Four Tops, who originally formed in 1953 before changing their name a few years later. The groups are calling this their 40th anniversary tour to mark four decades of performing on the road together.
Tickets for the event at the Windsor Hall start from £67.00. The venue is run by BH Live, the social enterprise responsible for managing the local centre.
Fans will see 84-year-old Otis Williams, the only founding member of The Temptations still performing with the group. The Four Tops now include Lawrence Payton Jr., the son of an original member, and Michael Brock, who was hand-picked for the group by the late singer Duke Fakir.
The tour will feature well-known songs from the groups’ long history, such as My Girl and Reach Out I’ll Be There. After the Bournemouth show, the tour will move on to London for the final performance on 3 July 2026.
