Reflecting on the band’s past experiences, Gouldman stated, “After not having toured the U.S. for over three decades, last year’s tour turned out to be a remarkable experience for us.” The excitement surrounding the upcoming shows is palpable, as he continued, “We are accustomed to our loyal audiences across Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, but the overwhelming response from American audiences truly took us by surprise – it was incredible. We are eagerly looking forward to our return and the opportunity to play at new venues this year.”
Looking back at 10cc’s formative U.S. tours, Gouldman shared with UCR, “It was fantastic to be in America – as American music has significantly influenced our sound. This remains true for me to this day and will continue to be a driving force.” He expressed his deep appreciation for the legendary artists who shaped his music, mentioning icons like Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, the Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard. “Their influence is ingrained in my DNA and that of my contemporaries. When I collaborate with writers or musicians, our discussions about influences consistently point back to these incredible artists.”
