We know, we know … it is very un-groovy to talk about Crimbo already! But is it, though? There comes a time when ties and socks for chaps just don’t really cut the mustard anymore. And how many smellies and slippers does one girl need? And quite honestly…being prepared early with gift buying leaves a lot more time for gigs, parties, etc etc.!

So, those festive little rock ’n’ roll rascals at Ian Gillan HQ thought it could be the perfect time to explain why a ticket for the upcoming ‘Talking Gib’rish Tour’ should be Plan A when getting something to pop in the Christmas Stocking of the rocker in your life! And these are the reasons why…
- Socks are for feet. Rock ’n’ roll is for the soul! Enough said!
- Father Christmas knows his rock legends! Even the big fella reckons Ian Gillan beats another dodgy jumper!
- The gift that keeps on rocking! Something fabulous to look forward to long after the turkey’s gone!
- No batteries, no assembly, no fuss! Just a cracking night out!
- Music legends don’t fit in stockings! But tickets certainly do!
So don’t be a Christmas pudding! Ditch the slippers, bin the boring gifts and put a little GIB’RISH under the tree!
The UK tour will begin in April 2027 and continue throughout May. Tickets are available from BookingsDirect.com and the venues. Information and further announcements will be available via the gillan.com website.
