A new version of the long-running variety show with rock 'n' roll and pop hits from the 1950s to the 1980s and comedy sketches.
That'll Be The Day returns to The Alban Arena on Saturday 5 June 2027, with a brand-new version of the show. It's a long-running variety act that mixes live rock 'n' roll and pop from the 1950s through to the 1980s with comedy sketches, so it's as much about the laughs as it is about the music.
This particular run is billed as a feel-good experience, and the music covers a fair bit of ground. The set pulls from four decades of chart-topping favourites, starting with the rock 'n' roll of the fifties and working its way through the pop of the sixties, seventies, and eighties. Between the songs, the comedy sketches keep things moving, so it's a variety show in the proper sense rather than a straight concert.
The show describes itself as a joyful tribute to the songs and artists that shaped generations, and the music is played live. It brings those decades to life in a blend of rock 'n' roll, pop and nostalgia, with the hits running from the fifties right through to the eighties. If you've got a soft spot for any of those eras, you'll likely find a good few of your favourites in there.
