Hermans Hermits Tickets

Herman's Hermits tour dates

Among the forefathers of the British Invasion, Herman's Hermits crystallize the sound of British beat, mixing the glossy production of rock and roll with the rich soul of R&B. Today, Herman's Hermits tours encapsulate the fun and frivolity of a simpler time.

Herman's Hermits' background

Herman's Hermit's original lineup consisted of Liverpoolers Karl Green, Keith Hopwood, Derek Leckenby, Barry Whitwam and lead vocalist Peter Noone - five young musicians who characterized the British beat movement that swept across the U.K. in the 1960s. Noone's likeness to the character Sherman, from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, inspired the band's name.

The group's fun, bubbly pop hits thrust them into the national spotlight, just like that other mop-topped band from Liverpool, the Beatles. International fame soon beckoned. Herman's Hermits signed with MGM Records and quickly shot to fame in the U.S., where some of their songs would come to define the decade.

Herman's Hermits tickets are highly sought-after by fans of British beat and its production: ultra-catchy melodies, drums, bass guitars and that distinctive '60s swagger.

Herman's Hermits' history

Herman's Hermits' eponymous debut, released in 1965, reached No. 16 in their homeland. It fared even better in the U.S., where it climbed the Billboard 200 before settling at No. 2 - an astonishing feat at the time for an international act. Tracks on the album include "I'll Never Dance Again" - originally released by Bobby Rydell - and "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter," which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The group's success continued into the second half of the '60s, with the release of Herman's Hermits on Tour, a collection of 11 bright and breezy pop tracks. Like their debut, it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned a No. 1 ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 with "I'm Henry VIII, I Am." There's a Kind of Hush All Over the World, released in 1967, produced the single "There's a Kind of Hush," which reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Herman's Hermits continued to score Billboard Hot 100 entries right up until the end of the decade, with tracks like "Dandy," "No Milk Today" and "Don't Go Out Into the Rain (You're Going to Melt)" identified by their laid-back instrumentation and acerbic lyrics. The group also appeared in multiple MGM motion pictures, including When the Boys Meet the Girls; Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter and Hold On!
