The Bari date forms part of a European summer run that takes Simply Red through major cities and distinctive outdoor venues across the continent.

Summer Funk ’27 in Bari

After the extensive celebrations surrounding Simply Red's 40th anniversary, the band is approaching its 2027 concerts with a different emphasis. Summer Funk ’27 has been presented as an upbeat summer tour focused on the more energetic side of the group's catalogue, while still drawing from the songs that have become central to their concerts.

The European itinerary includes several appearances in Italy. Alongside Bari, the announced Italian dates include Venice, Rome, Pompeii and Lucca, placing the Fiera del Levante performance in the middle of a concentrated run through the country.

The tour follows the band's major 40th Anniversary Tour, which reached audiences around the world in 2025 and included Italian arena concerts. That period of Simply Red's live history was subsequently documented on Holding Back the Years: 40 Years of Simply Red, Live in Santiago, released in 2026.

Songs from more than four decades of Simply Red

Simply Red have a catalogue that moves easily between soul ballads, polished pop and dance-driven material. Their best-known recordings include “Holding Back the Years,” “Stars,” “If You Don't Know Me by Now,” “Fairground,” “Money's Too Tight (To Mention),” “Something Got Me Started” and “Sunrise.”

Recent performances provide a useful indication of the breadth of material the band continues to draw from. Shows during the 40th anniversary period featured songs such as “Stars,” “Fairground,” “The Right Thing,” “For Your Babies,” “A New Flame,” “Something Got Me Started” and “Holding Back the Years,” alongside other tracks from across the Simply Red catalogue.

The Summer Funk ’27 concept suggests an especially strong focus on songs suited to an open-air summer setting, although the exact Bari setlist will only be known on the night.

Simply Red at Fiera del Levante

The concert takes place at Fiera del Levante, one of Bari's best-known event complexes, located on the city's waterfront along Lungomare Giambattista e Pietro Starita.

For this date, Simply Red are also associated with Locus Festival, adding the Bari concert to a festival programme known for bringing international artists to Puglia. The combination of a summer date, the Fiera del Levante setting and Simply Red's funk and soul-oriented touring concept gives this stop a distinct identity within the band's 2027 Italian schedule.

The concert is scheduled for 9:00 PM on 28 July 2027.

A new chapter after the 40th anniversary tour

Simply Red's recent activity has been strongly connected to four decades of live music. Their 2025 anniversary tour revisited material spanning the band's career, while the 2026 Live in Santiago release preserved one of the tour's major performances.

Summer Funk ’27 moves the focus forward again. Rather than presenting another retrospective anniversary production, the tour has been announced as a summer celebration centred on Simply Red's upbeat hits and the band's long-established live sound.

For audiences in Bari, it is an opportunity to hear Mick Hucknall and the band during one of only a small number of Italian concerts announced for summer 2027.
