Jesse Rivers leads a live tribute to Neil Diamond's hits, celebrating six decades of the singer-songwriter's music.
Jesse Rivers brings a Neil Diamond tribute to The Alban Arena on Saturday 30 October 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's called Hello Again, and it's part of the 60 Diamond Years touring concert, which celebrates six decades of Diamond's hits rather than telling his life story as a stage musical. Rivers fronts the show, and he's a Best Male Tribute award winner who has appeared on ITV's Stars in His Eyes.
It's billed as a brand-new production, and the set follows Diamond from his early songwriting days through to the songs most people know: Sweet Caroline, Cracklin' Rosie, Red, Red Wine and I'm a Believer. The music is carried along by imagery, video and narration, so it's as much about the visuals as the songs.
Rivers doesn't do it alone. He's backed by the Salvation Band and the Diaz Sisters, and on selected performances the Brooklyn Horns and Ascending Strings join in. It's a full live band setup, not just a singer with a backing track.
