Ocean City Music Pier presents 10cc on July 29th

originally published: 07/09/2024


(OCEAN CITY, NJ) -- One of the most inventive and influential bands in the history of pop music, 10cc, will perform live on Monday, July 29, 2024 at the Ocean City Music Pier. The band’s 2024 Ultimate, Ultimate Greatest Hits Tour is the group's first in over three decades. Showtime is 7:00pm.

With more than 30 million albums sold, 10cc’s energies were never centered on image or celebrity-status but, rather, on creating highly sophisticated rock masterworks with mainstream appeal.

“I’m Not In Love,” written by Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart and released in 1975, had a second life after being prominently featured in the soundtrack to the 2014 blockbuster film, Guardians of the Galaxy, spawning a number one soundtrack album. Similarly, 10cc’s 1978 hit, “Dreadlock Holiday,” was a key element of the soundtrack to 2010’s The Social Network.

Founding member Gouldman attributes 10cc’s lasting appeal to the quality and individuality of the band’s songs. “They don’t seem to date,” explains Gouldman, “We never followed any trend; we simply wrote for our own pleasure. The fact that the songs are being played as often on the radio as they ever were shows how true that is.”

The 2024 10cc live concert line-up features Graham Gouldman on bass guitar, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and vocals; Rick Fenn on lead electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and vocals; Paul Burgess on drums, percussion, and keyboards; Iain Hornal on electric guitar, acoustic guitar, percussion, mandolin, keyboards, and vocals; and Keith Hayman on keyboards, electric guitar, bass guitar, and vocals.
