Joe Jackson

With his Two Rounds of Racket 2024 tour, Joe Jackson makes an unprecedented two-part performance. First, he performs songs from his solo catalogue, and then Mr. Joe Jackson presents the music of Max Champion, featuring a nine-piece band.

Joe Jackson is one of the most unique musicians in British pop history. Coming out of the punk musical revolution, he immediately got noticed for his skill in combining raw energy, great taste and dislike of stereotypes.

Joe Jackson and his band appeared on the British music scene just after the punk revolution with iconic records like “Look Sharp!” (Containing the hit “Is She Really Going Out With Him”) and “I'm The Man” (containing the hit “It's Different For Girls”). LPs that still sound incredibly modern and fresh.

Later on during his career Jackson was not afraid to mix other influences like jazz, classic and latin music to his original sound (in albums like “Body And Soul” or the masterpiece “Night and Day”). Never repeating himself, Joe Jackson always pleased his devoted fans with albums where his intelligent lyrics were supported by great musical ideas, a coherence that made the five time Grammy nominee one of the most respected and admired artists of our time. He constantly plays live for a fan base which is like a “secret society”: ready to follow, support and embrace Joe Jackson in any new musical adventure he wanted to explore.
