Dutch prog rock legends Focus have announced an extensive run of UK shows for 2022. The band were forced to cancel touring plans last year when mainman Thijs Van Leer, whilst being treated in hospital for an unrelated issue, was then diagnosed with COVID.
It also means the band can reactivate the celebrations for their 50th anniversary which should have taken place in 2020 and which were cancelled due to the pandemic, as well as 2021's 50th anniversary of the band's classic second album Moving Waves. Focus also released the deluxe boxset Focus50 last year.
