Rhinestone Cowboy: The Glen Campbell Story

Rhinestone Cowboy: The Glen Campbell Story comes to the Barnfield Theatre on Saturday 16 January 2027, a live music theatre tribute to the life and music of country legend Glen Campbell. It's put on by Plutonium Stage Productions, and it's a full evening rather than a short set: the show starts at 7:45 PM and runs for 135 minutes, including an interval.

Rather than just a sequence of songs, it's a look at Campbell's whole career. It starts with his early days as a session musician in the 1960s, before he stepped out from the background to become a Grammy-winning artist and a global star. From there it follows him through the peak of his fame and on to his farewell tour, so you get the full arc of his time in the spotlight.

The music is the main thing, and the set is built around his most well-known songs. Rhinestone Cowboy is the big one, but Wichita Lineman and By the Time I Get to Phoenix are in there too, with authentic musical arrangements carrying the night. Storytelling and visuals fill in the gaps between the tracks, so the songs sit within the story of his life rather than standing alone.

Tickets are £28.00, and with the 7:45 PM start and the interval, you're looking at a good stretch of music to see you through the evening.
