Focus the band

A new Focus Era has arrived, bring with it a rejuvenated passion amongst the band. In 2019 Focus released their first studio album for 6 years: Focus 11, which came complete with brand new Roger Dean Artwork. The year was then spent touring from South America to Japan and everywhere in between in support of the new album. With the dawn of 2020 came the 50th Anniversary of the formation of Focus. Unfortunately, celebrations had to be put on hold due to Global events. 2021 brought the 50th Anniversary of “Moving Waves”, as well as the Deluxe Boxset Focus50 featuring Blu-ray and CD of the Live in Rio concert as well as a studio rerecord of all the Focus ‘numbers. Finally, 2022 means a return to touring in a real way, and the band are delighted to be performing again! The classics such as Hocus Pocus, that has been featured in a global ad campaign for Nike, Top Gear and feature films such as Baby Driver, Sylvia and House of The King will, of course, be on the bill… and of course some of the Focus numbers make an appearance! The band, consisting of Thijs Van Leer (Hammond organ, flute and vocals), Pierre van der Linden (drums), Menno Gootjes (guitar), and Udo Pannekeet (bass), are delighted to get back to their fans and return to the stage to play the music they love.
