Smokie

Smokie lands at Falkoner Salen in Frederiksberg on 16 April 2026. Formed on the Bradford rock circuit in the late 60s, the band shaped a blend of soft rock, pop rock and a touch of glam, built on close harmonies, melodic guitars and choruses made to stick. Their story runs through the Chinn/Chapman years and a string of radio staples, with songs like If You Think You Know How to Love Me, Living Next Door to Alice, Oh Carol or Lay Back in the Arms of Someone anchoring a catalogue that moves from slow-burn ballads to straighter, mid-tempo rock and a light country tint.

Decades on, Smokie keeps the focus on songwriting and vocal blend, revisiting the 70s core while folding in later material. On stage, the set leans into sing-along hooks, warm guitar lines and that familiar call-and-response feel, shifting gears between tender tracks and punchier cuts without losing the thread. Expect a career-spanning run that nods to early albums like Pass It Around or Midnight Café and opens windows to the late-80s period with All Fired Up or Boulevard of Broken Dreams. A night for melodies, harmonies and the songs that made their name, right in the room at Falkoner Salen.
