English rock band Squeeze is bringing their feel-good Summer show to St Augustine Amphitheatre, in St Augustine, on August 18, 2026. The tour will also include other favorites like Adam Ant and Haircut 100.
We saw Squeeze in Sep 2019 and noted, “As for beloved UK band Squeeze, it’s truly a delight to see the band return in full electric gear and playing many of their biggest hits from the late 70s and through the 80s. Eager fans cheered at hearing the opening notes to such hits as “Cool for Cats”, “Tempted”, or “Another Nail in My Heart” (many of which landed in the second half of their long setlist. Most of their songs were lyrically written by Chris Difford, with music added by Glenn Tilbrook, much like the Morrissey and Johnny Marr collaboration in The Smiths, so it’s probably better to compare Squeeze to The Smiths, rather than The Beatles … but they are often compared to John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Unless you’re a music Anglophile, chances are you probably haven’t heard of Squeeze. It’s really a shame, because their songs are so catchy and fun… but it’s a rarity that that modern American radio would even play their music. Having said that, they did have a hit with “Tempted” and “Hourglass” in the USA. Unfortunately, by 1982, they broke up … but then reformed in 1985, and then breaking up again in 1999.”
You know what is funny is that Haircut 100 was recently ‘slandered’ by Morrissey, who said, “Beyond playing the music, nobody else had one single idea – but the writer Gareth Roberts took it too far when he recently said: “Remove Morrissey from the Smiths and you are left with Haircut 100”” in his rant against the BBC.
