Shocking News: Roger Hodgson of Supertramp Hints at a 2025 Reunion: Is This True or Mere Speculation?

For decades, Supertramp fans have clung to the hope that Roger Hodgson, the band’s co-founder and iconic voice, would reunite with his former bandmates. Now, as whispers of a 2025 reunion surface, many are left wondering: is this finally the moment Supertramp fans have been waiting for, or is it just another wave of false hope?

The Origins of the Speculation

Recent social media activity and cryptic statements from Roger Hodgson have fueled the idea that a long-awaited reunion may be on the horizon. Hodgson, who left Supertramp in 1983 to pursue a solo career, has spent decades dismissing the possibility of rejoining the band. Yet, recent interviews have taken on a more ambiguous tone.

During a 2024 Q&A session, Hodgson was asked if he would ever consider performing with Supertramp again. His response? “You never know what the future holds.” While that may seem noncommittal, it’s a drastic shift from his previous, more definitive stance against a reunion.

Additionally, a now-deleted tweet from a close associate of Supertramp’s management hinted at “unfinished business”between Hodgson and the band. The sudden removal of the post has only added to the speculation.

The Decades-Long Rift

The idea of a Hodgson-Supertramp reunion has long been dismissed as an impossibility due to tensions between Hodgson and Rick Davies, the band’s other founding member. While both have avoided outright personal attacks in interviews, their relationship has been notably strained.

One of the major disputes involves the use of Supertramp’s classic songs. Hodgson has repeatedly expressed frustration that the band continued performing songs he wrote, such as Give a Little Bit and Breakfast in America, without him. Despite his efforts to stop Davies and the band from playing his compositions, Supertramp has continued to tour and perform them.

Would Hodgson now be willing to put aside these differences for a reunion tour? Or, more controversially, has he realized that Supertramp’s brand is more lucrative than his solo career?

The Business Angle: Is This a Financial Decision?

Hodgson has maintained a steady solo career, but let’s be honest: there’s a massive financial gap between a solo artist touring mid-sized venues and a Supertramp reunion filling arenas.

Supertramp’s last major tour was in 2015, and despite Rick Davies’s health issues, the band’s catalog remains in high demand. If Hodgson were to rejoin, a 2025 tour could be one of the most profitable rock reunions in recent history.

In an era where legendary bands from The Eagles to Genesis have cashed in on farewell and reunion tours, it’s not out of the question that Hodgson sees the financial potential in rekindling Supertramp—if only for one last tour.

Is Rick Davies Even on Board?

A major factor in any reunion would be Rick Davies himself. The Supertramp co-founder and primary songwriter has battled health issues in recent years, which may make touring difficult. If Hodgson were to return, would it be as part of a full-fledged band reunion, or would he take control of the Supertramp name himself?

Some fans argue that without Davies, a Hodgson-led Supertramp would feel like a cash grab rather than a legitimate reunion. After all, while Hodgson was the voice of many of the band’s hits, Supertramp’s identity was built on the contrast between his and Davies’s styles.

A Reunion or Just a PR Stunt?

There’s also the possibility that all this speculation is simply a PR move. Hodgson has new music in the works, and nothing stirs up interest in an aging rock star like reunion rumors.

We’ve seen this tactic before—bands and artists hint at reunions to generate buzz, only to pivot toward a solo project once they have the public’s attention. Could Hodgson be pulling the same move?

Final Verdict: Real or Hype?

At this point, the idea of a 2025 Supertramp reunion remains firmly in the realm of speculation. While Hodgson’s recent statements are more open-ended than before, there is no concrete evidence of talks between him and the remaining members of Supertramp.

However, money talks. If the demand is high enough and old wounds can be set aside, we might just see Roger Hodgson step onto the stage with Supertramp one last time.

Until then, fans will have to settle for speculation, cryptic social media posts, and the hope that—just maybe—the dream of a Supertramp reunion isn’t dead yet.
