To promote his album, Horwood will embark on a 53-date UK tour starting on April 4, 2025, in Eastleigh and concluding on June 28, 2025, in Dunfermline, Scotland. Noteworthy stops include London’s Union Chapel and Liverpool Philharmonic.
This new project aligns with Horwood’s extensive career in musical theatre, where he has both performed and directed numerous productions. He is the longest-serving judge on “Strictly Come Dancing,” having joined the show at its inception in 2004.
