The James Brown Experience

Thursday 2 October

Celebrate the life, music, and unstoppable energy of one of the most iconic performers of all time with The James Brown Experience — a concert event that captures the soul, fire, and impact of the Godfather of Soul like never before.

Far from a typical tribute act, this immersive show offers an electrifying journey through James Brown’s legendary catalogue, complete with explosive dance routines, searing vocals, and an energy that radiates through every note. From his early R&B roots to the funk-fuelled anthems that became the heartbeat of a generation, the performance pays homage to a musical pioneer whose influence continues to shape culture and sound today.

The show goes deeper than imitation. With support from The James Brown Family Foundation, it channels the passion and purpose behind the music—highlighting Brown’s role not just as a performer, but as a cultural trailblazer and civil rights voice. Each song, from Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag to Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud, is delivered with the raw conviction and spirit that made Brown a symbol of pride and power.

Expect a night of unforgettable music, high-octane performance, and soulful celebration that invites audiences to connect with a legacy that lives on in every beat. This is more than a concert—it’s a movement.
