Procol played a string of US (and [[Toronto]]) concert dates in June 2010, mostly opening for [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]]. On 22 July Procol again headlined at the Keitelejazz Festival in [[Äänekoski]], Finland – the venue where the band performed with an injured Brooker in 2009. They described this loyal Finnish audience as "the best in the world" and played a unique three-verse version of "A Whiter Shade of Pale" with a guitar solo from Geoff Whitehorn. 48 hours later Procol were invited to give a free concert at the courtyard of the Palace of the Province of [[Bergamo]] in [[Italy]].

In August 2010 they appeared in [[Bad Krozingen]] in [[Germany]] and a Rock Legends event at the Dolina Charlotty Amphitheater in [[Poland]]. After a Halloween gig in [[Leamington Spa]] (their first in the UK for three years) the band returned to North America in November, including a return orchestral event with the [[Edmonton Symphony Orchestra]] on 9 November. After playing in [[Tallinn]], [[Estonia]] on 18 November, they returned to the US for an orchestral concert in [[Wilmington, Delaware]] on 4 December. Over 13,000 people saw eight New Year concerts with the Danish Radio Orchestra in Copenhagen and other Danish cities in January 2011.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.dr.dk/Koncerthuset/Kalender/2011/januar/dr-nytaarskoncerter-med-procol-harum-d15 |language=da |title=DR Nytarskoncerter med Procol Harum |website=dr.dk |date=15 January 2011 |access-date=27 December 2014}}</ref>

On 29 May 2012 Gary Brooker was hospitalised after suffering a fall in his hotel room in [[Cape Town]]. He was due to have performed with his band at GrandWest Arena on the 30th, with fellow Brits [[10cc]] and [[The Moody Blues]], in a tour billed as the 'British Invasion' and then again in [[Johannesburg]] on Friday 1 June 2012. Brooker (whose birthday it was) had been in his room at the five-star Table Bay Hotel. He was admitted to the ICU of the [[Christiaan Barnard]] Memorial Hospital with a serious skull fracture.

The band returned to Denmark for the Kløften Festival on 25 June before embarking on a 27-date U.S. tour supporting [[Yes (band)|Yes]].

In 2012 the Japanese artist [[Yumi Matsutoya]] came to London to record "A Whiter Shade of Pale" with Procol Harum, a band she considered an inspiration for her work. She sang a duet with Gary Brooker on this new version of the 1967 classic, which featured three verses and a guitar solo by Geoff Whitehorn. Yumi and Procol Harum then played a series of December concerts in major Japanese cities, one of which was recorded for a later television showing (on 31 March 2013).

Also in 2012, Henry Scott-Irvine published a biography of the band, ''Procol Harum – The Ghosts of A Whiter Shade of Pale''. Scott-Irvine also hosted a rare Procol Harum film evening at the BFI on the South Bank, which was attended by members of the group.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.procolharum.com/hsi-procolbook_prom-shindig.htm|title=Henry Scott-Irvine's Procol Harum book • 'Shindig' promo|website=Procolharum.com|access-date=25 May 2018}}</ref>

In September 2012 Procol Harum was among fifteen final nominees for the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] Class of 2013 (induction 18 April 2013). In the subsequent election that December, however, the band failed to gain enough votes for election.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/04/showbiz/music/rock-roll-hall-fame-nominees/index.html |title=Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees Announced – CNN.com |last=France |first=Lisa Respers |date=4 October 2012 |website=[[CNN.com]] |access-date=27 December 2014}}</ref>

In March and April 2013 Procol Harum played a series of five orchestral concerts in Denmark and two such events in [[Wuppertal]] in Germany. Four band-only concerts in Sweden & Finland were held in early October.

In 2014 the band toured again in France, Switzerland, Germany, Canada (Ottawa with orchestra) and the Eastern U.S. The band also played a five-song set at [[Kenney Jones]]' Rock'n'Horsepower charity event at [[Ewhurst, Surrey]] in June, on a bill including [[Alvin Stardust]], [[John Lodge (musician)|John Lodge]], [[Nik Kershaw]], [[Mike Rutherford]], [[Judie Tzuke]] and [[The Who]]. A twin CD, ''Inside & Outside'', was issued with studio tracks from the Chrysalis years and a live CD including new material and performances of tracks from their first four Zonophone albums.

On Monday 24 November Procol Harum appeared at the Dominion Theatre in London with the BBC Concert Orchestra and [[Crouch End Festival Chorus]] in an event recorded for broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night on 28 November. Guitarist Geoff Whitehorn was hospitalised during rehearsals and at short notice [[Rick Wakeman]]'s guitarist [[Dave Colquhoun]] deputised (on crutches, after a broken ankle). He played a guitar solo in the first extended, orchestrated version of Keith Reid's [[September 11 attacks|9/11]] tribute song "Blink of an Eye", dedicated by Gary Brooker to the brave firefighters of the 8th Avenue station who the band often talked with after gigs in New York.

The band's 13th album, ''[[Novum (album)|Novum]]'', was released on 21 April 2017 and the band played 36 dates in the UK and Europe to promote it. However, the most significant concert of the year came in March when the band played with an orchestra at the [[Royal Festival Hall]] in London. Whilst leaving the stage at the end of the first half, Gary Brooker fell and was seriously hurt. He reappeared for the second half with his head bandaged and nursing "a broken hand".

In 2018 the band again toured in Europe, including an orchestral show at the [[London Palladium]] on 9 October. They commenced 2019 with a Caribbean cruise hosted by [[Justin Hayward]], with many well-known rock acts. A US tour was due to follow.
