To Invade Hollywood Bowl
with The English Beat & Adam Ant
February 20th, 2026 by Traci Turner
One of the best live acts around is headed our way this year, and they are bringing two incredible acts with them AND doing it all at the legendary Bowl!
The British “Cool Cats” known as Squeeze do not disappoint with their shows – their precision, talent level, and charming attitudes guarantee a night of fantastic music. Every time I have seen them perform, it has been incredible – my love for British gents does not even factor in, I promise.
Of course, you do not need my flattery because you probably adore their catalog already: “Take Me I’m Yours,” “If I Didn’t Love You,” “Another Nail in My Heart,” “Goodbye Girl,” “Annie Get Your Gun,” “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell),” “Tempted,” “Cool for Cats,” and “Black Coffee in Bed” are classic staples.
Squeeze also has a brand new album on the way titled “Trixies” which will drop on March 6th. You can get a taste of what is ahead with the new single, “You Get the Feeling.”
Squeeze founders Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook decided to bring some friends along and make the night an even bigger party. The English Beat and Adam Ant will join them for an evening of the best ‘80s hits – and more!
The English Beat’s Dave Wakeling turned 70 this week, but that man does not slow down! We can expect classics from The English Beat and General Public like “I Confess,” “Mirror in the Bathroom,” “Save It for Later,” “Hands Off… She’s Mine,” “Tears of a Clown,” “Tenderness,” “Never You Done That,” “Hot You’re Cool,” and “Ranking Full Stop.”
Another British gent that ruled the ‘80s and beyond, Adam Ant will be onstage giving us the anthems we danced along to on MTV: “Antmusic,” “Goody Two Shoes,” “Desperate but Not Serious,” “Stand and Deliver,” “Strip,” “Vive le Rock,” “Puss ’n Boots,” and “Friend or Foe.”
Squeeze, Adam Ant, and The English Beat? Sign me up! Get your tickets now for the Hollywood Bowl show happening September 19th. Do not miss out on these three iconic acts on one stage!
