Squeeze - Tried, Tested and Trixies (with Adam Ant & Haircut 100)

Three acts, three decades of influence, one extraordinary night at the Fox Theatre. Squeeze — the south London band behind "Tempted," "Cool for Cats," "Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)," and "Black Coffee in Bed" — have been one of British pop's most consistently excellent songwriting partnerships since their 1977 debut. Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford's command of hook and lyric has made them a perennial critical favorite and a reliable live act across multiple reunion eras.

Adam Ant was one of the defining figures of the early MTV era — "Goody Two Shoes," "Stand and Deliver," "Ant Music," and the full post-punk dandy persona that made him one of the visual icons of the early 1980s. Haircut 100 were the purest distillation of the preppy funk-pop moment of 1981-82 — "Love Plus One" remains one of the most perfect pop singles of the era. A triple-bill of this historical weight is a rare thing. August 22 at the Fox.
