Squeeze kick off a 22 date tour of the UK next month and will be playing classics as well as some new songs. Fans will be able to purchase live recordings immediately after utilizing a pop up shop. Squeeze are thrilled to market their music directly to fans as Glenn Tilbrook explained in an interview with Music Week:

"I love the opportunities and surprises thrown up by the digital age and the fading away of the major labels. Being able to innovate and take control of our own destiny is something I could only have dreamt of back then. So this Pop Up Shop tour is where we're at now... a combination of new songs and technology, of musicianship and experience that make this tour for Squeeze 'A Giant Step Forward'."
