Barry Steele's Roy Orbison Story

Barry Steele brings his Roy Orbison tribute to the New Theatre Royal on Saturday 6 March 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's a theatrical show rather than a straightforward gig, and the focus is on Roy Orbison and the Traveling Wilburys.

Steele is the only one on the bill, and he's taking on the heavy lifting himself. The set is built around Orbison's songs, but it doesn't stop there: he also works in material from the Traveling Wilburys, and draws in songs by Johnny Cash, ELO and Tom Petty. It's a broad stretch of music, and the Wilburys connection brings in the kind of names that usually only appear together on a record, not a single stage.

Steele is described as a celebrated artist, and he's the one bringing the hits to life with his own stage presence and voice. The whole thing is framed as a nostalgic journey through some of the biggest songs in music history, so it's less about a new take and more about hearing the songs as you remember them.

It's at the New Theatre Royal on Clasketgate, LN2 1JJ, in the centre of Lincoln. Tickets start from £35, and the show kicks off at 7:30pm on Saturday 6 March.
