Hello Again: The Neil Diamond Songbook - 60 Diamond Years

Hello Again: The Neil Diamond Songbook comes to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Saturday 24 October 2026, starting at 7:30pm. It's a tribute to the life and work of Neil Diamond, following on from his 1966 debut album. This 2026 edition is a brand-new production and follows 60 Diamond Years, tracing Diamond's journey from his early songwriting days to international stardom across six decades of hits.

The setlist pulls from that long run: 'Sweet Caroline', 'Cracklin' Rosie', 'Forever in Blue Jeans', 'I Am I Said', 'Song Sung Blue', 'Hello Again', 'Love on the Rocks', 'Red, Red Wine', 'I'm a Believer' and 'America'. It's not just a concert, either — the songs sit alongside evocative imagery, video and narration, and it's billed as the most successful independent production of its kind. The show is performed with a full live band.

There's a new lead this time around: Jesse Rivers, who was crowned Best Male Tribute and appeared on ITV's Stars in Their Eyes. He's joined on stage by the Salvation Band and the Diaz Sisters, so it's a full ensemble rather than a one-man show. The production is described as the world's greatest celebration and tribute to Diamond's career, and with a full band and backing singers, it's built to fill a room like the Pavilion.

Tickets start from £35.25, and it kicks off at 7:30pm on Saturday 24 October at the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre.
