LEGENDARY Motown artists The Four Tops and The Temptations will be performing at Birmingham’s NIA in 2012.

The show will take place at the city centre venue on March 22 and two very special guests will join the groups at the show - kings of 70s RnB disco Tavares and seminal 60s girl band The Crystals.

With soul and RnB enjoying a dazzling comeback, this tour promises to get three or four generations together, shaking their hips and singing along to the timeless sound of some truly irresistible classics.

Originally from Detroit, both The Four Tops and The Temptations are Motown’s most influential and successful recording artists.

Across five decades, both bands have sold millions of albums, ranging from funk, disco, soul and even adult contemporary music.
