It’s been six years since fans last got to ‘boogie’ with Jamiroquai and the 90s icons are finally back with The Heels of Steel UK Tour in 2025.
Jamiroquai, fronted by singer Jay Kay, formed in 1992 and became well known for their mix of jazz, rock, disco, and electronic genres.
They reached number one on the UK charts in 1998 with single Deeper Underground as well as topping the album chart three times.
In 2017 they released Automaton, with a tour following the album, however, since then it’s been fairly quiet on the Jamiroquai front.
Until now. After years away, the band have confirmed they will visit Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and London in 2025.

‘One Man’s mission, for 30 years and counting, to put groove music into your life,’ Jamiroquai announced.
‘Will you join us in the fight to Let The Disco Stay The Same – to conquer all your inner fears and boogie like NEVER before? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES to heal the world through MUSIC?
‘DO YOU HAVE….THE HEELS OF STEEL!’
Taking to Instagram, Jamiroquai shared the announcement and added: ‘Introducing… The Heels of Steel Tour! ⚡️ Coming to the UK & Europe in 2025.
‘It’s been a while since we last toured and we can’t wait to do it again next year. See you on the road!’
The tour will travel through Europe in November 2025, visiting Milan, Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam before landing in Scotland in December.

Days ago, the Glasgow OVO Hydro teased the funk icons return with an image of The Buffalo Man – a symbol used by Jamiroquai.
Jay Kay, 54, revealed in March that the group had returned to the studio after promising an album in 2021.
‘You must all be wondering where’s this bloody album he promised us?’ he said in a TikTok.
‘Well, I have good news. It’s right on the way. I am hard at work.’
He promised an ’11-track banger with more to spare’, featuring ‘stuff that is the creme de la creme’.

The British funk group tragically lost their bassist Derek McIntyre in February after he died in a car crash aged 66.
Jamiroquai saw huge success in the mid-90s with their acid jazz-influenced pop tunes with their second album; The Return of the Space Cowboy.
Third studio record Travelling Without Moving secured yet another chart win, peaking at number two in the UK.
Lead single Virtual Insanity became regularly played on MTV thanks to an eyecatching music video.
The album has since sold over 8million copies worldwide and holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling funk album since 2001.
