Tribute concert by Barry Steele and a five-piece band celebrating 70 platinum years of Roy Orbison's hits.
Barry Steele brings his Roy Orbison tribute to Harrogate Theatre on Saturday 30 January 2027, starting at 7:30pm. He's not on his own: it's Barry Steele and friends, backed by a five-piece band. The show is billed as the definitive Roy Orbison concert experience, and Steele's name is the one on the ticket.
It's a long-running production, now in its 21st year, and it's coming straight from the West End's Adelphi Theatre. The night celebrates 70 platinum years of Roy 'The Big O' Orbison's hits, and the five-piece band takes you through the whole stretch: from the rockabilly Sun Records era right through to the Traveling Wilburys. The setlist pulls from across that span, with Pretty Woman, Crying, I Drove All Night, You Got It, Only the Lonely, In Dreams, California Blue, Rattled and Handle with Care all in the mix. The Stage called it 'True Identikit Brilliance'.
