Great news! You have to see it!

In December 2025 SMOKIE will play two concerts in Lithuania:

 

12.06 - Klaipėda

12.07 - Vilnius

 

Take a look at the Guinness Book of Singles, and you might be forgiven for thinking that Smokie's success story was a phenomenon of the 1970s. After all, 11 of their 14 British hits came during that eventful musical decade. But their huge success story has continued to flourish all over the world, including Scandinavia, South Africa, Germany and even China. "Smokie is a band that has sold out tours and earned platinum records over four decades - the 70s, 80s, 90s and today.

 

A brief overview of past glories. Smokie first formed at school in Yorkshire in the late 1960s. After looking at various names and styles, they signed to Mickie Most's then-hot RAK label and found themselves on the roster. Songs like "If You Think You Know How To Love Me", "Don't Play Your Rock'n'Roll To Me", "It's Your Life" and "Oh Carol" (all top 10 records) became radio staples and gave Smokie their ticket to tour the world.

 

The sound was a combination of full songs and Smokie's distinctive but unashamedly Stateside-influenced soft rock harmonies, and their secret is their vocal combination - a crisp, emotion-drenched lead combined with melodic harmonies for a unique, bittersweet result.
