45 ALIVE! WE CELEBRATE WITH THE HOOTERS

Hits like “All You Zombies,” “And We Danced,” “Johnny B,” “500 Miles,” or “Satellite” catapulted The Hooters to superstardom in the 1980s. With these timeless songs and numerous other titles from their long successful career, band founders Eric Bazilian, Rob Hyman, and David Uosikkinen are coming to Z7 for the “45th Anniversary Tour 2025.”

Under the motto “45 Alive,” The Hooters will return to Europe in the summer of 2025 to celebrate hits from four and a half decades of their band career. Founded in 1980, songwriters and producers Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman delivered one of their biggest hits in 1981 with “All You Zombies”: The song climbed to number 17 on the German charts four years after its first release, reached number 3 on the US Mainstream Rock Charts, and was celebrated by 100,000 spectators at the Live Aid benefit concert in Philadelphia. By 1986, The Hooters already had four single hits to their name and were almost continuously on tour. The band now shared stages with artists such as U2, The Police, Bryan Adams, Lou Reed, and Peter Gabriel. In 1987, The Hooters released their third album “One Way Home,” which produced further immortal band classics with “Johnny B” and “Satellite.”

After numerous tours, The Hooters decided in 1995 to take a well-deserved break and focus on solo projects. Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian also offered their talents as musicians and songwriters to other artists, including Mick Jagger, Joan Osborne (“One of Us”), John Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams (“Old Before I Die”), and Cyndi Lauper (“Time after Time”). In the early 2000s, however, the musicians came together again and toured with great success. Alongside Bazilian and Hyman, founding member David Uosikkinen, Johny Lilley (since 1983), and Fran Smith Jr (since 1988) were also part of the band. Since 2010, Tommy Williams has completed the band.

In 2023, The Hooters released the album “Rocking & Swing” after a sixteen-year hiatus and successfully toured around the world with it. The work brought the band back to their roots in the early 80s. With their unique blend of ska, reggae, and rock, they hit the mark with fans and critics alike. The recordings of some early songs that they had exclusively played live during their club concerts certainly contributed to this success. Two years after this release, The Hooters are coming to Z7 to look back on their great career with the “45th Anniversary Tour 2025” and celebrate their 45th birthday with the fans.
