Lorne Thomson/Redferns

The Zombies  continue to expand their North American Different Game tour.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers just added two new shows to their schedule: April 11 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and April 12 in Clearwater, Florida.

The latest additions follow recently announced shows in Annapolis, Maryland, on March 26, and Alexandria, Virginia, on March 27. They will also set sail on the On The Blue Cruise from April 5 to April 10, departing from Miami.

A fan club presale starts Wednesday, January 17, at 10 a.m. ET, with the public onsale kicking off Friday, January 19, at 10 a.m. ET. A complete list of dates can be found at  thezombies.com .

The Zombies previously toured the U.S. in 2023. Unfortunately, in October they were forced to cut their Different Game tour short after founding member  Rod Argent  was hospitalized after suffering migraines, fatigue and exhaustion.

The Zombies are a psychedelic rock band from St Albans, UK who since their formation in 1961 have had more splits and reincarnations than most.

The original line up: Colin Blunstone (lead vocals), Rod Argent (organ), Paul Atkinson (guitar), Chris White (bass) and Hugh Grundy (drums) met at school and started playing locally at Rugby clubs in their hometown. Early in their career the band were invited to play in a battle of the bands competition hosted by London Evening News which they went onto win, eventually scoring a record deal with Decca Records. Here they released their first chart success with “She’s Not There” in 1964 which peaked in the charts at number 12. Later that year it was released in the US and achieved similar success proving popular on many radio stations.

Following in the footsteps of the British invasion, the band embarked on their first US trip as they promoted the new single release by playing up to seven performances a day. It was their injection of jazz and Blunstone’s distinctive raspy vocals which made them stand out in the current trend of British rock music which was lapped up across the pond. In 1965 The Zombies made their debut US television appearance on the show Hullabaloo performing the hit single “She’s Not There” in front of an audience of screaming teenage girls, hysteria had definitely set in.

With the US market embracing the band, they released their next single “Tell Her No” which peaked in the US charts at number six but failed to reach the top 40 in their homeland. In 1965 The Zombies released their debut album “Begin Here” which contained a mixture of original and classic R&B covers.

In 1967 the band signed to CBS Records with whom they recorded the follow up album “Odessey and Oracle” released the following year. With the album being recorded on a tight budget and time frame, tensions were high in the band during the recording process as disagreements arose regarding creative differences. So much so that the band called it quits before the album was even released. The album only received a US release and despite no longer being a functioning band, the single “Time of the Season” went to number three on the Billboard charts in 1969.

Following the split of The Zombies, Rob Argent pursued his own project called Argent in 1968 with Chris White joining him as principal songwriter. While Colin Blunstone embarked on a solo career, Paul Atkinson and Hugh Grundy stepped out of the spotlight working behind the scenes with Columbia Records.

In 1990 the band briefly reformed with Blunstone, Grundy and White to record the 1991 album “New World” alongside Argent and Atkinson and featured several guests on guitar. In 1997 The Zombies released their ultimate greatest hits compilation “Zombie Heaven” featuring a staggering 120 tracks which included some previously unreleased material. To promote its release, the band joined Blunstone at his solo performance at London’s Jazz Café to perform their hit singles “She’s Not Here” and “Time of the Season”.

In honour of the 40th anniversary of the album “Odessey and Oracle” the surviving members Blunstone and Argent accompanied by Keith Airey and Jim and Steve Rodford, the band performed three nights at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire in 2008 which was recorded and released as a live DVD.

The band continue to tour the US, Canada and Europe annually and in their prolific career have influenced the likes of Super Furry Animals, Badly Drawn Boys and Arctic Monkeys.

Live reviews

The Zombies perhaps deliver one of the most sophisticated performances out there today, playing each tune in their setlist with a delicate yet captivating delivery.

Lead vocalist, Colin Blunstone, proves himself to be a true gentleman with his well-kept appearance wearing a suit on stage and politely complimenting the great qualities of his band members. Blunstone’s voice also carries a gentle, serene quality that is hauntingly beautiful and adds a great depth to each song. This can clearly be depicted in the song “A Rose for Emily”, which might leave a tear in the audience’s eye after hearing Blunstone’s angelic voice. However the most defining aspect of the Zombies’ sound might be Rod Argent’s keyboard playing. Argent uses the keyboards and organ to create various sounds, which helped define the Zombies unique blend of styles ranging from psychedelic, jazz, and baroque pop. The organ solo in “Time of the Season” might be one of the most pristinely presented organ solos in musical history.

The audience at the Zombies’ concert had a great time dancing to hits such as “Tell Her No” and She’s Not There”, and the crowd nearly went into a full fledged freak-out when “Time of the Season” was performed. The other members in the band also accommodated Rod Argent at the show by performing songs from his other band, Argent, which included a performance of the song “Hold Your Head Up” with the audience enthusiastically singing the chorus word for word. The setlist also consisted of quite a few songs off the critically revered album, Odessey and Oracle, which Rolling Stone magazine has included on its list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and Rod Argent was sure to inform the audience how David Grohl from the Foo Fighters stated that it was his favorite album of all time. The Zombies are seasoned professionals that know how to entertain a crowd and play their music with great precision and enthusiasm. Everyone in the band always seemed to be having a good time when on stage and always acted courteously and graciously towards the audience, who accepted their warm personality and delightful music with great enthusiasm.

Report as inappropriate

The Zombies concert last evening at the Danforth Music Hall was truly outstanding. Divided into two sets, Set 1 was the current Zombies touring band featuring Colin Blunstone, Rod Argent, Jim Rodford, Steve Rodford, and Tom Toomey. They played the gamut - with cuts from their very first album to the latest release, Still Got That Hunger. They even finished off the set with a Colin and Rod acoustic number - The Way I Feel Inside.

Set 2, of course, was the classic Odessey and Oracle album, in its entirety. This set saw original band members Chris White and Hugh Grundy take the stage. They were supplemented with Darian Sahanaja from the Brian Wilson Band along with Vivienne Boucherat, Chris' wife. Steve and Jim participated in the second half as well.

All in all, it was a tremendous evening. The Toronto audience - a complete sell out - gave the band a number of extended standing ovations! I am sure this was extremely gratifying for the band and will hopefully mean more Toronto shows in the future.

The outstanding setlist is as follows:

I Want You Back Again

Edge of the Rainbow

Tell Her No

You've Really Got a Hold on Me / Bring It On Home to Me

Road Runner

Just Out of Reach

Chasing the Past

Hold Your Head Up

She's Not There

The Way I Feel Inside (Acoustic)

Set 2 Odessey and Oracle

Care of Cell 44

A Rose for Emily

Maybe After He's Gone

Beechwood Park

Brief Candles

Hung Up on a Dream

I Want Her She Wants Me

Time of the Season

My husband and I just saw The Zombies at The Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, where we live. I have been a lifelong fan since the 60's. When the radio plays: Tell Her No, Time Of The Season, or She's Not There, I turn it way up. We are huge Argent fans and when they played Hold Your Head Up, it was so special to us! Colin Blunstone on vocals is always amazing. The harmonies with him, Rod Argent and the rest of the band were spot on...fantastic! Tom Toomey was smokin on guitar, would have liked to have heard more solos from him. Jim Rodford on bass and his son Steve on drums were solid and punchy and really drove the band. Besides their hits, the new stuff slso sounded great! We appreciate talented musicians because my husband is an accomplished pro-keyboardist who toured with Chick Corea, does sound design, producing, studio and live gigs. He led the band Aurora Borealis (jazz, rock, fusion) in L.A. in the 70's. As for myself, I was the original bassist/lead singer for the female band VIXEN from 1970 - 1983.

After so many years of admiration for The Zombies, it was a true pleasure to have seen them live. Keep rockin guys!!!

Gayle & Mitch DeMatoff

The artful craft and lyrical and harmonic beauty of a record like Odessey & Oracle has never brought the phrase "consummate professional" to mind with me, but after the opening set by the Zombies circa 2015 I was impressed by Colin Blunstone's performance in every detail...and that phrase seemed apropos... The haunting tone which has mesmerized me since I first laid ears on "Time of the Season" as a wee lad - "20 Monster Hits" indeed! - was note perfect in the opening verse of the opening masterpiece single "I Love You" and shifted 2 gears up for the first turnaround "..and I don't know WHAT TO DO!!!". It truly blew me away!! He was never late, early, sharp or flat...unless he meant to be, and he didn't...the very picture of a sweet soul singer in control... and then there's Rod Argent...let's just say the Cap'n runs a tight ship all the while gettin' carried away...by the time band within a band "Argent's" greatest hit "Hold Your Head Up" led to set closer (and very first RECORDING by the band!!!!) "She's Not There" there was no doubt the audience was in for a treat... There were 2 more Zombies to come!!! (to be continued)

Wow. Age isn't holding these energetic icons back.

We saw them here in State College, PA about four years ago and we grabbed our tickets early to see them again last night - just great!!

The concert was SOLD OUT, State Theater was jam packed and the enthusiastic crowd LOVES The Zombies. The standing ovations were out of this world and the three encores were truly appreciated.

The new bass player is a fantastic player - and a terrific harmonist as well. But he really needs to turn down his bass volume, and Steve needs to come down a bit on the drums (or at least the cymbals) as Colin was getting blasted out so he just wasn't heard well enough. That was bugging me through the whole concert.

Also, I think the rhythm section needs to stop fooling around so much with each other and be more professional on stage like Rod, Colin and Tom.

Outside of those criticisms, great stuff! What a night!

I wish them all health, happiness and continued interest and endurance. We love you Zombies - always have!

The Zombies were amazing-as soon as they walked on the stage the fans were up and out of their seats- The first song "I Love You " had us all singing along-Rod talked a little about the band's history and some of it was funny and precious #ColinBlunstone's vocals were fabulous-love the band's harmonies -The Zombies always have fresh new songs on their set list-"Colin sang "Going Out Of My Head" blow me out of my seat and their new album #Stillgotthathunger" is bloody brilliant

Hope the song "New York" becomes a New York tradition..#RodArgent knows the plus of the city we love!!!

The Zombies are a party band that doesn't quite!!! And they love their fans 8-D

http://youtu.be/Vn7lWvVyUfQ

Went to the concert in Denver 9/2019. Loved that they started with Tell Her No to set up great anticipation for a great concert night. Only one original member (keyboards) started and finished the show. The lead singer was average, nothing special. Except for She's Not There (4th song) and Time of The Season (ending song), the music was mediocre. The original drummer and basest joined the group after She's Not There.

Overall, concert was okay but loved their 3 big hits.

The Zombies were terrific last night in Massapequa NY!!! Not only did they play the old standards but also songs from a more recent album from about 2 years ago sounded really great and they are working on a new record as well. I learned a little about them, two of the guys formed the group Argent and they played some of their songs too as well as a song Colin did with The Alan Parsons project. It was a great night, nice cool breeze along with some cool music!

This show was INCREDIBLE! Intimate venue, great acoustics.

I have to say Colin and Rod still sound amazing and Rod may be one of the best keyboard players I've ever seen.

They did a great job giving you a short story behind the songs and music and they did an amazing job in wanting to hit every note as they did back in the 60's.

The show was done right and anyone who goes to see it won't be disappointed.

The weather was unexpectedly much colder than I expected, but my heart was warm with having a lifelong dream fulfilled. So happy to see the Zombies perform for the very first time. It was unforgettable. Thanks to the band for continuing their dream and for continuing to please their audiences. I'm grateful they're still alive and thriving, and I pray that continues for many years to come.

Brian Wilson, Zombies Plot ‘Something Great From ’68’ Tour

By Jon Blistein

Jon Blistein

Brian Wilson and the Zombies will embark on a North American tour this summer celebrating their music from 1968 and beyond.

The “Something Great from ’68” tour will launch August 31st at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and wrap September 26th at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. Tickets go on sale May 10th, while pre-sales start tomorrow, May 8th. Complete information is available on Wilson’s website and the Zombies’ website .

Wilson will primarily perform songs from two of his favorite Beach Boys albums, 1968’s Friends and 1971’s Surf’s Up , while also scattering the setlist with rarities and classics. His former Beach Boys bandmates Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin will join the Hall of Fame musician onstage.

“It’s been quite a year and I’m ready to go out and tour some music that makes everyone have a feel good vibe,” Wilson said in a statement. “The Friends album has always been one of my favorites, and I love the music from that time in history.”

As for the Zombies, the recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will open each show with a full performance of their seminal 1968 record, Odessey  and Oracle , alongside other selections from their long career. The shows will also notably feature Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone reuniting with fellow co-founders Chris White and Hugh Grundy, who will perform alongside the current iteration of the Zombies. However, the first two shows of the tour — August 31st in Las Vegas and September 1st in Indio, California — will just feature the Zombies’ current lineup sans White and Grundy.

Wilson’s bandmate, Darian Sahanaja, said, “Any fan of Pet Sounds should immediately identify with Odessey and Oracle . Rich harmonic tapestries, baroque impressions with an underlying melancholy… classicism with an emotional yearning that I find common in both Brian’s songwriting and that of The Zombies. To be able to perform with both entities on the same bill is a dream within a dream within a ‘hung up’ dream come true.”

2023 IS Their Year: The Zombies Different Game Tour Review

• On Tour Now

The Zombies’ rock ‘n’ roll success is a bit of an anomaly if you really think about it. The band broke up for nearly 30 years just months prior to the release of what would become their defining album in Odessey and Oracle (1968) . And even that has its own extraordinary story, having only gained popularity well after its original release. Yet here we are, 55 years later and just two decades since the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famers’ reunion, and it’s like they never left.

Resurrected by founding members Rod Argent (keys & vocals) and Colin Blunstone (lead vocals) in 2001, The Zombies have performed on and off ever since. Fortunately, 2023 is another busy year, with the band promoting their most recent record, Different Game, on the Different Game North American Tour. And I got to take advantage of this "on" year, catching their acclaimed show in Glendale, California.

Playing to an intimate crowd of 1,400, The Zombies boasted a simple stage production — a black backdrop and some colored overheads and uplights — at the Alex Theatre. However, just two songs in and it became evident as to why they may shy away from a more complex production… they simply don’t need it.

Between Argent, Blunstone and their six-piece band, The Zombies blew the crowd away with each and every note. With the 17-song setlist hitting both new and old tracks alike, this was a show literally anyone would enjoy. From the long line at the merch stand to the packed crowd near the stage, the venue was riddled with die-hard Zombies' fans of all ages ready to catch a glimpse of their favorite band.

Check out the full setlist from the Alex Theatre below!

The headliners kicked off the night with a more recent hit from 2015, “Moving On," before diving into “I Want You Back Again,” a selection Colin attributed to the late Tom Petty’s cover of the tune, claiming, “If it’s good enough for Tom Petty, it’s good enough for us.”

After a crowd-pleasing rendition of The Zombies original, “I Love You” (covered by People! in 1968), the group launched into a string of old and recent releases alike including, “Different Game,” “You Could Be My Love,” “Tell Her No,” “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me” and “Dropped Reeling & Stupid.”

Embedded content is no longer available.

While newer tracks can sometimes elicit a more humble audience response, every hit from their 2023 LP garnered another roaring applause from the crowd. It truly was a night full of love and admiration. Whether it was Blunstone’s seemingly unwavering vocals or Argent’s pure artistry on the organ, The Zombies radiated a kind of magic that was simply infectious all night long.

Following a few 2023 hits, the group traveled back in time with four tracks from Odessey and Oracle . Kicking this section off with “Care of Cell 44” and “ This Will Be Our Year,” The Zombies quickly turned what could have been a 12-minute segment into a nearly 30-minute long mini set full of solos and crowd ovations galore.

After an elegant rendition of “A Rose for Emily,” the rock legends jumped into their biggest hit, “Time of the Season,” during which the real stars of the show emerged. Just a row in front of my own, a younger couple could no longer contain their excitement and headed to the far aisle where they danced and sang their hearts out without disruption. Talk about a beautifully raw moment.

Still riding the high of a minute-long standing ovation, The Zombies continued with a crowd favorite in “Merry-Go-Round,” before a nearly 10-minute long cover of Argent’s own “ Hold Your Head Up,” featuring a mesmerizing original organ solo from Rod himself.

With Colin exiting the stage for a short break during the impressive marathon of a cover, the band closed out their set upon his return with a powerful performance of “She’s Not There” before a Blunstone and Argent-only duet of the beautifully stripped back, “The Way I Feel Inside.”

A final bow to the audience and the night was wistfully over… or so we thought. What would a rock show be without an encore?

Inspired by the deafening roars of the crowd, the band returned to the stage for a one-song encore to cap off a truly magical evening. But which song would they choose? Well, let’s just say it was a bit of an unexpected direction for a traditional encore as the group dug a bit deeper into the catalog for a cover of Denny Laine’s “Say You Don’t Mind” — a song that later became a Top-20 hit by Colin Blunstone in early ‘70s. From the first note of the tune, it was clear Blunstone had won the battle of encore song choice as he glowed through the entire performance, even sharing a smirk or two with Argent along the way.

And with that, The Zombies shared a true final bow as they soaked in their last moments with the 1,400 admirers before them. It was genuinely a night to be remembered in Glendale.

This tour is one you won’t want to miss, and it's just getting started. Check out all of The Zombies remaining 2023 Different Game North American Tour dates below!

The Zombies Tour 2024

The Zombies tour 2024 announced : In early spring, British Invasion legends The Zombies will return to the United States for a 2022 tour.

The Zombies' Colin Blunstone recently had to postpone his solo orchestra concerts in New York and Los Angeles (the LA show, with special guests Weyes Blood, Susanna Hoffs and others, has been rescheduled, but not yet the New York show), and now the full Zombies have announced their own long tour for spring 2022. Opening acts are Bruce Sudano and Jesse Lynn Madera, who will vary depending on the date.

The month-long tour, dubbed Life Is a Merry-Go-Round Tour, begins April 1 in Orlando, Florida, and runs through a concert in Fall River, Massachusetts in May. The tour is apparently named after a new song by the band, "Merry Go Round," which they have played at some of their recent shows and which will likely be on the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers' next studio album.

Veteran singer-songwriter Bruce Sudano, widower of the late Donna Summer, will be The Zombies' special guest during the tour through April 14 in Knoxville, Tennessee, while singer-songwriter and pianist Jesse Lynn Madera will be the opening act for the rest of the tour.

The Zombies' U.S. tour kicks off just after the band completes its participation in the Flower Power 2022 cruise, which departs from Miami on March 28. The band also has a string of UK shows in February and early March, a Canadian tour in July and a continental European tour in September.

The Zombies 2024 tickets and VIP packages for most of the concerts will go on sale this Friday, November 19, at 10 a.m. local time.

The Zombies Cancel Remaining U.S. Tour Dates Following Band Member’s Hospitalization

by Matt Friedlander October 27, 2023, 4:20 pm

The Zombies have announced that they have decided to cancel the remaining dates on their current North American tour after an unidentified member of the British Invasion group was hospitalized on Tuesday.

A message on The Zombies’ Facebook page explained, “Although [the band member has] been released from the hospital and is recovering, we must prioritize his health over the tour. Out of respect for our bandmate’s privacy, we are not disclosing further details.”

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers had already canceled shows that were set to take place on October 24 in Alexandria, Virginia, and on October 26 in Beverly, Massachusetts, and now the other two dates left on the trek have also been shelved—scheduled for October 27 in New York City and October 29 in Glenside, Pennsylvania.

The band added in the cancellation message, “Despite facing some significant challenges on this tour, these have been some of the most enjoyable shows of our career together, and we’re forever grateful to our fans.”

The Zombies launched the tour, which kicked off on October 1 in a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, to promote their 2023 studio album, Different Game .

Meanwhile, The Zombies recently announced the inaugural Begin Here Festival —scheduled to take place November 10-12 in their hometown of St Albans, U.K.—will be moving ahead as planned, according to the band’s management.

Among the various activities and events scheduled as part of the festival are a museum exhibit; Q&A sessions with the band’s original members; a screening of the new Zombies documentary, Hung Up on a Dream ; a photo op with singer Colin Blunstone; a record signing; a book signing; an interview and performance with founding Zombies bassist Chris White; a drum workshop with original Zombies drummer Hugh Grundy and the group’s current drummer, Steve Rodford; and more.

Hung Up on a Dream had its world premiere in March at the 2023 South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas, and several other screenings of the film have been held this year in the U.S.

Meet the newbies ‘zombies 4’ introduces brand new characters and two new supernatural creatures: a guide.

Disney/Matt Klitscher

The ZOMBIES- VERSE is expanding! ZOMBIES 4 will introduce five new characters — and not only that, the Disney franchise will also welcome two brand new supernatural creatures.

The fourth film welcomes several new characters who will be playing mysterious supernatural monsters, including Swayam Bhatia ( The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers ) as Vera; Julian Lerner ( The Wonder Years ) as Ray; and Mekonnen Knife ( Joe vs. Carole) as Vargas. It was previously announced that Freya Skye would be playing a character named Nova and Malachi Barton ( Stuck In the Middle) would be playing Victor.

Lisa Chappell   and Jonno Roberts also join the cast in new adult roles as Eldress and Commander Bright, respectively.

The official synopsis is as follows: “The franchise’s fourth installment follows Zed and Addison as they embark on a road trip the summer after their first year of college. As adventures unfold, they unexpectedly discover the warring worlds of Sunnyside and Shadyside and come into contact with Nova, Victor, Vera, Ray and Vargas on their summer travels. Zombies, werewolves and aliens alike are shocked by the meeting of two new supernatural groups.”

The new cast members will join previous stars Milo Manheim  (Zed), Meg Donnelly   (Addison),  Chandler Kinney  (Willa),  Kylee Russell  (Eliza), Freya Skye (Nova), and Malachi Barton  (Victor).

As the Disney franchise already includes zombies, werewolves and aliens, it’s unclear which “two new supernatural” groups will be introduced this time around. However, in a J-14 interview from 2022, Meg joked that “mermaids” could be the possible focus for another movie.

Chandler, for her part, explained that the ZOMBIES  universe is so “expansive.”

“Now, with the addition of aliens, we can go as far as the entire galaxy. I think that there’s always room for growth. There’s always room for new species, and there’s always room for new stories,” the  Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin  star explained. “So, we are definitely down for all of that.”

Not only will Meg and Milo be reprising their roles as Addison and Zed, respectively, but they will also be serving as executive producers on the project.

Previously, the cast told  J-14  exclusively they would all be down for a fourth movie, while promoting  ZOMBIES 3 in July 2022.

“Especially, to be with everybody in the cast and the people — any excuse to be with everyone, sign me up,” Meg told  J-14. “The way everybody watching is really passionate about  ZOMBIES , I think we’re just as passionate about the story line, and the message, and what it’s about, and our characters too. So, to come back and do it all over again. It would be a dream.”
