The Drifters will be stopping at Hunstanton’s Princess Theatre as part of their 2024 UK tour

The Drifters have announced their 2024 tour plans with more than 100 UK dates including a stop at a seaside theatre.

The legendary group, who have previously been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and listed among the greatest artists of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, are bringing their live show to Hunstanton’s Princess Theatre on Saturday.

They have produced an “incredible” list of hits - including Saturday Night at the Movies, Come On Over to My Place, Stand By Me, Under the Boardwalk and many more.

​​​​Following the phenomenal success of their 65th anniversary tour, The Drifters will be back on the road with a line-up hand-picked by Tina Treadwell herself - president of the Treadwell Entertainment Group and owner of The Drifters name.

Tina’s father started the group with Clyde McPhatter and brought in several greats thereafter such as Johnny Moore and Ben E King.

Her mother Faye was later responsible for bringing the group to the UK and overseeing hits such as More Than A Number and Kissin’ In The Back Row.

After the death of her parents, it was down to Tina to continue the legacy of The Drifters' name.

Tina, who previously worked for Disney as an executive producer and casting director, believes this current line-up is one of the best to date and looks forward to the upcoming concert tour.

She said: “I am very excited that following our 65th anniversary year we have a new show for the fans who we invite to join us in celebrating this incredible and everlasting story of The Drifters.”

Tickets are available via the official tour website www.thedrifters.co.uk or the venue’s website princesstheatre.co.uk.
