Live R&B tribute show with Gamal John and a live band playing hits from the golden era of R&B.
Luther Live and Velvet Voices comes to the Belgrade Theatre on Tuesday 12 January 2027, starting at 7.30pm. It's a live theatre show celebrating the golden era of R&B, and the Coventry date is part of a UK tour.
Gamal John fronts a live band for the night, and the set is built around the smooth sounds of Luther Vandross and Alexander O'Neal, with tributes to R&B royalty like Marvin Gaye, Bobby Brown and George Benson. It draws on hits from the 80s and 90s, including 'Never Too Much', 'Shine', 'Dance With My Father', 'Sexual Healing' and 'Saturday Love'.
The show has picked up five-star reviews from the Britain's Got Talent judges, with Alesha Dixon calling it an 'Absolute Superstar', Simon Cowell a 'Masterclass' and Bruno Tonioli 'Gobsmacked and Speechless'. It's also part of the My Belgrade Subscription, so if you're already signed up for the theatre's season, this one counts towards it.
