Beverley Knight brings her Born To Perform 2026 Tour to the Cliffs Pavilion, one of Essex’s premier entertainment venues. With stunning views over the Thames Estuary and a reputation for hosting top-tier artists, the Pavilion is the perfect backdrop for an evening of soulful, high-energy performance from one of Britain’s most celebrated vocalists.
Audiences in Southend-on-Sea will be treated to a show filled with Knight’s biggest hits, fan favourites and new material, all delivered with her trademark vocal mastery and infectious charisma. Expect powerhouse renditions of “Shoulda Woulda Coulda,” “Come As You Are,” “Made It Back” and “Greatest Day,” performed with the passion, energy and musical precision that have defined Knight’s three-decade career.
Knight’s concerts are known for their warmth and connection. She shares stories from her life, her creative journey and her experiences in the music and theatre industries, bringing audiences closer to the songs and the woman behind them. The Cliffs Pavilion provides the perfect setting for this exchange — a venue large enough to create an electric atmosphere, yet intimate enough for Knight’s personality and presence to shine.
