The James Brown Experience: A Tribute to the King of Funk

Sunday 19 October, 7:30 pm

Get ready to celebrate the original soul legend in an electrifying live show that pays homage to the one and only James Brown — the Godfather of Soul, King of Funk, and voice of a generation.

The James Brown Experience is more than a tribute concert: it’s an immersive journey through the music, spirit, and social impact of one of the most influential performers in modern music. Expect a dazzling evening of high-octane dance numbers, heart-wrenching ballads, and timeless anthems — from Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine to Say It Loud – I’m Black and I’m Proud.

With powerful vocals, tight musicianship, and stagecraft that channels Brown’s unstoppable energy, the show captures the essence of his unmatched legacy. Audiences will be on their feet as this unforgettable performance celebrates a man whose music inspired not only generations of artists, but also movements for pride, identity, and change.

Tickets: £33 | £29.50 | £26
