A string quartet performs a tribute to Olivia Dean under candlelight in a lavishly decorated room of the Royal Pavilion.
Candlelight: Tribute to Olivia Dean comes to the Royal Pavilion on Friday 29 January 2027. It's a tribute concert, so it's not Olivia Dean herself on stage; instead, a string quartet takes on her songs, played under the glow of candlelight. The whole thing runs for an hour, with doors opening 45 minutes before it starts.
If you've spent any time around the Pavilion, you know it's not your usual gigging space. It was built as a royal residence for King George IV in the Indo-Saracenic style, and the interiors are just as distinct as the exterior—lots of Chinese and Indian influence in the decor. The concert takes place in one of its lavishly decorated rooms, like the Music Room or the Banqueting Room, so the setting is a big part of the evening. The room holds 180 people, it's wheelchair accessible, and seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone.
One thing to keep in mind is that this is a tribute, not an official show—it's not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Olivia Dean, her estate, or her representatives. It's a string quartet's take on her music, so you're hearing her songs reimagined for four bows rather than the originals. The audience needs to be at least 8 years old, and anyone under 16 has to be accompanied by an adult.
