Country Superstars
Tue 24 September 2024 | Adelphi Theatre
Country music isn’t slowing down in its musical domination and this show lets you celebrate the best of Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Shania Twain et al. It’s time to don some suede and fringe and tip your hat to a whole host of memorable country hits! Catch this unforgettable experience at the Adelphi Theatre, where the heart of country music will come alive this autumn.
Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets
Tue 24 September 2024 | The London Palladium
A true credit to the music industry, Nick Lowe has worked with the likes of The Damned, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker and Pretenders. Now, as a singer-songwriter in his own right, his tracks wear like a familiar piece of clothing you always opt for, but never go out of style.
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical
Selected Monday from Mon 30 September 2024 | Cambridge Theatre
Fresh from another Edinburgh Fringe, the Showstoppers are back at the Cambridge Theatre with no plan, no script and no clue as to what the audience are going to suggest next. Expect a lot of improv, spliced with a catalogue of award-worthy songs that were created before your very eyes and ears.
Lucy Beaumont
Fri 4 October 2024 | The London Palladium
The quick-witted, yet nonchalant Lucy Beaumont has been making us laugh on our TV screens for quite some time. And now she’s taking to the stage to talk us through off-beat stories, unusual anecdotes, and bizarre journeys through modern day womanhood.
Iron & Wine
Wed 30 October 2024 | The London Palladium
The tones and textures of Iron & Wine’s music takes life down to a comfortable pace, even if in a grand and ornate setting of an 114 year old theatre. One where singer-songwriter, Sam Beam, captures the emotion and imagination of listeners with distinctly cinematic songs.
Hannah Gadsby
Mon 4 – Fri 8 November 2024 | The London Palladium
Nanette was a show running at just over an hour, that set the comedy category on Netflix alight and propelled Hannah Gadsby to international stardom. Now, their new show Woof! takes all of life’s worries and from the irrelevant to the existential, carefully dissects them in equal measure.
Ron Sexsmith
Sun 10 November 2024 | The London Palladium
Be swept away with the romantic sounds of Ron Sexsmith, as the internationally acclaimed songwriter marks a 60 year milestone in music. Perfect for fans new and old, Sexsmith will be able to make the over-2000 seat Palladium feel like the most intimate setting.
Suzi Quatro
Wed 13 November 2024 | The London Palladium
There’s not enough superlatives to describe the Queen of Rock ‘N Roll, Suzi Quatro. With 60 years in the business, the musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, poet, author and radio presenter is set to reign The London Palladium.
Ed Gamble
Sat 23 November 2024 | The London Palladium
If presenting a show on Radio X, co-hosting a hit podcast (Off Menu) with fellow comedian James Acaster, judging on Great British Menu or featuring on a plethora of programmes wasn’t enough, Ed Gamble is also touring his latest serving of stand-up, Hot Diggity Dog. Food not included.
And for the Swifities out there…
Miss Americana: A Tribute to Taylor Swift
Tue 8 April 2025 | Adelphi Theatre
It was the summer that the Eras tour took over London, via 46 songs that lasted over 3 hours. If you’re not over London being Swiftie central, and you have a Blank Space in your diary, you can relive that era with Miss Americana – A Tribute to Taylor Swift.
