Squeeze have announced the opening acts for their 2019 U.S. tour. The band, led by U.K. songwriting legends Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford, will perform their extensive list of favorites as well as rare, lesser-known gems from their back catalogue and solo careers.
Joining them for various shows this summer are KT Tunstall, They Might Be Giants, X, Marshall Crenshaw, The Mavericks and Leon Tilbrook. (See the specific info for all of the dates below.)

Since their first release in 1978, “Take Me I’m Yours,” Difford and Tilbrook established their reputation as great tunesmiths with a string of classic rock Squeeze songs including “Goodbye Girl,” “Another Nail in My Heart,” “Pulling Mussels From The Shell,” “Tempted,” “Black Coffee in Bed,” “Hourglass,” “Cool For Cats,” “Up The Junction” and “Annie Get Your Gun.”

A U.K. tour follows in autumn; an Australian and New Zealand leg is already scheduled for 2020.
Watch Difford and Tilbrook perform “Up the Junction” in 2017
These songs also established Difford and Tilbrook as two of the most prolific songwriters of their time with each amassing a wealth of melody-rich earworms over the past four decades as both Squeeze and solo artists.

The Lulu Raes serve up their hook-laden pop tunes for the event. Cosmic singles such as hit ‘Burnout’ have excited audiences, the band releasing their debut album ‘LULU’ last year, and touring with the likes of The Jungle Giants, Jamie XX, DMAs, and Polish Club.
Heaps Good Friends add their quirky pop to the mix, catchy singles ‘Let’s Hug Longer’ and ‘Olympic Sneakers’sure to get feet moving.
3d max 2017 keygen. Indie-pop up-and-comer Asha Jefferies will deliver intimate singles ‘Everybody Talks’ and ‘If You Were My Hero’, which also saw her added to triple j’s most played list in March 2019.
“The Squeeze is our once a year chance to present both the best of the music we love from artists we love, and to bring some incredible new talent to the attention of fans.”
These are sure to be Lime Cordiale’s most spectacular shows of 2019 – expect a special night with a selection of the best up and coming locals. With laughs ensured by high-energy comic Demi Lardner, The Squeeze is packed with incredible talent – an experience not to be missed.
