Squeeze, Adam Ant, And Haircut 100 Announce U.S. Tour…This Fall, Squeeze returns to North America for a major tour with Adam Ant, Haircut 100 and Leon Tilbrook—bringing one of the UK’s most beloved songbooks back across the Atlantic at a moment of renewed creative momentum.
Marking 50 years together, Squeeze’s new album Trixies is both a revelation and a full-circle moment. Drawn from songs Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook first wrote as teenagers in 1974, the record reimagines a lost “concept album” set inside a fictional nightclub—complete with vivid characters, shadowy storylines, and the sharp observational detail that would later define their work. Once shelved due to youthful limitations, these songs have now been fully realized decades later, capturing the raw spark of their earliest collaboration with the confidence and craft of seasoned masters. This precocious collection of songs – under the guiding production hand of Squeeze’s bassist Owen Biddle (The Roots, John Legend, Al Green) – finally gets to enjoy its moment in the spotlight.
Praise for Trixies positions Squeeze at a rare creative peak, with SPIN calling it “the duo’s personal masterpiece” and marveling at “the ambition” and “a swathe of great moments.” FLOOD hails Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook as “one of the great songwriting duos of their time,” while Brooklyn Vegan notes that the album captures their signature style already fully formed—“complex melodies that nonetheless sound effortless” and “a youthful energy…that marks Squeeze’s best records.” Elsewhere, SPILL calls it “a brilliant step back in time” that still feels strikingly current, and PopMatters praises its “immersive” world, concluding that Trixies proves the band “were always destined to be formidable artists.”
Squeeze’s enduring appeal, from classics like “Up The Junction,” “Tempted,” and “Cool For Cats” to a catalog embraced by artists as wide-ranging as Erykah Badu and The Shins, their songwriting has long bridged generations. In recent years, a revitalized lineup has transformed that legacy into a live show widely regarded as one of the strongest of their career—dynamic, sharp, and newly resonant with younger audiences discovering the band through streaming.
With Trixies sparking a fresh wave of creativity—and more new material already waiting in the wings—Squeeze step into this North American run not as a legacy act, but as a band in a genuine late-period surge.
