Why see Joe Jackson?
Two Rounds Of Racket Tour 2024
Emerging into the music world in the late seventies/early eighties, Joe Jackson first hit it big with his track "Is She Really Going Out With Him?", followed up by the classic "Steppin' Out".
Now the English singer-songwriter is back on North American stages in summer 2024 on his extensive 'The Two Rounds Of Racket' tour. With the evening split into two stages, fans can expect to hear some of Jackon's iconic classics, alongside tunes from his new album 'What A Racket' that plays tribute to Max Champion, a lost voice from the British Music Hall genre of the early 20th century.
