Final farewell gig for The Searchers ahead of Glastonbury
Up to now retirement has never been in The Searchers' vocabulary, but they have decided that after three final tours it really is time to hang up the plectrums and drum sticks. The Liverpool legends, who in the golden pop era of the 60s were second only to the The Beatles, return to The Concorde Club on Thursday June 26 for the final gig on their Thank You tour. (Image: Promo image) The following day The Searchers step on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival to write the final chapter of a pop story which began nearly 70 years ago. The Concorde has always been a favourite venue for The Searchers, who have toured continually for more than 67 years. Their most famous single remains their 1963 debut Sweets For My Sweet.

The Searchers to end touring after 68 years
Bassist and singer Frank Allen, who joined the group in 1964, said: "I have played shows across the world with The Searchers for over 60 years; Glastonbury has always been an ambition that has eluded us - until now. "The Searchers are finally performing at the greatest music festival of them all. "What a way to round off a tour and a career. I can't wait to get up on stage and give our fans one final blast." The Searchers' hits also include Sugar And Spice, Needles And Pins and Don't Throw Your Love Away. They have sold more than 50 million records and performed worldwide, while drawing praise from artists such as Bruce Springsteen. The band's Final Farewell Tour runs from 14 June and will end with a performance on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury on 27 June.
