Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp have confirmed the details of their upcoming ‘Sunday Lunch Rock Party’ tour – check out dates below.
The pair started sharing covers of well-known rock and pop songs in 2020, with Willcox later explaining that she was trying to help husband Fripp get through the COVID-19 lockdowns. They shared their most recent cover at the end of last month, reworking Joan Jett‘s ‘Bad Reputation’.
Speaking to NME in 2021, Willcox said that she was hoping to take their Sunday Lunch series “a lot further”. Last month, the pair confirmed they would be appearing at the 2023 Isle Of Wight festival alongside the likes of Pulp, George Ezra, The Chemical Brothers and Robbie Williams.
Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp have now confirmed details of their own headline tour. The ‘Sunday Lunch Rock Party’ tour is due to kick-off later this month at Huntingdon Hall in Worcester before the pair head out on a month-long run of shows in September.

“We are so excited to be bringing our new Rock Party show to towns and cities across the UK,” said Willcox. “This will be a rock show, with a full rock band — an uplifting party of a show. Be ready to party, be ready to dance, be ready for some serious vocals from me and some serious rock guitar from Robert!”
The pair have promised songs from across their respective back catalogues as well as covers of Metallica, Black Sabbath and more. “It’s going to be a rock party,” said Willcox. Tickets are available here.
