10cc have announced several dozen U.K. dates for this fall. The concerts are in addition to their first North American tour in over three decades, as well as many other shows in Europe and Ireland. The U.S. edition of their “Ultimate Greatest Hits” tour, featuring such classics as “I’m Not in Love,” “The Things We Do For Love” and “Dreadlock Holiday,” will take place in summer 2024 with a 20-date coast-to-coast itinerary. Tickets are available here.
The 10cc live lineup is led by founding member Graham Gouldman on bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals. He’ll be joined by Rick Fenn – lead electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; Paul Burgess – drums, percussion, keyboards; Keith Hayman – keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, vocals; and Andy Park – electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards, vocals (replacing multi-instrumentalist Iain Hornal, who will be performing with Jeff Lynne’s ELO).
“I’m Not In Love,” written by Gouldman and Eric Stewart and released in 1975, had a second life after being prominently featured in the soundtrack to the 2014 blockbuster film, Guardians of the Galaxy, spawning a number one soundtrack album. A 2024 box set is available to order in the U.S. here and the U.K. here.
Graham Gouldman in 2021
Gouldman attributes 10cc’s lasting appeal to the quality and individuality of the band’s songs. “They don’t seem to date. We never followed any trend we simply wrote for our own pleasure. The fact that the songs are being played as often on the radio as they ever were shows how true that is.”

Gouldman is also releasing a solo album, I Have Notes, featuring guest appearances by Ringo Starr, Brian May, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Albert Lee. The title, coming July 5, is available to order in the U.K. here. Of Starr’s contribution, with whom Gouldman toured as part of the All Starr Band a few years ago, he says, “It’s another kind of surreal moment, listening to it, because he and the Beatles are the reason I’m doing what I’m doing.”

Jump into a conversation10cc? Should be Graham Gouldman’s 10cc. It’s not 10cc without the three other original members. At least Eric Stewart should be in it!
Where is Eric Stewart and why is he not touring with them is there some kind of beef between them.
Yeah, if it’s going to be 10cc, we need Eric Stewart. But such is the concert scene today with a lot of the acts from the ’70s and ’80s. Sometimes you have NO original members!
I wonder if they’ll play “Neanderthal Man”. I still can’t believe how big of a hit that was!
Probably not, because the writers of the song are the “missing” persons Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme!
