Soul stars The Stylistics are returning to Britain for a 22-date tour, including at Croydon’s Fairfield Halls on Friday November 20.
And one lucky Inside Croydon subscriber, plus your guest, can be there absolutely free with this exciting exclusive competition.
The Stylistics are the soul pioneers behind a string of hits including You Make Me Feel Brand New and Can’t Give You Anything (But My Love).
Original members Airrion Love and Herb Murrell will be on stage in Croydon next month, to reprise their favourite numbers. “We love returning to the UK and can’t wait to perform all our hits, bringing back great memories and having a great evening with you all.”
Few groups can match The Stylistics’ run of success.
In the early 1970s, they achieved an extraordinary 10 consecutive Top Ten hits, establishing themselves as one of Philadelphia’s biggest musical exports and one of the defining vocal groups of the era.
Their 2026 tour offers audiences the chance to hear their soul classic catalogue performed by members who were there when these songs first became hits.
The set will feature the Grammy-nominated You Make Me Feel Brand New, alongside You Are Everything, Betcha by Golly, Wow, I’m Stone In Love With You, Let’s Put It All Together, Sing Baby Sing, Rockin’ Roll Baby and many more.
With their sophisticated arrangements, distinctive harmonies and unmistakable Philadelphia soul sound, The Stylistics have continued to attract audiences across generations. Their influence extends well beyond the soul and R&B world, with their music continuing to resonate across pop and contemporary music.
