Rock 'n' roll and pop tribute show with comedy sketches and impersonations touring the UK from the 1950s to the 1980s.
That'll Be The Day comes to the Princess Theatre on Friday 16 April 2027, part of a UK tour that runs from 20 January to 6 June. It's a musical tribute to rock 'n' roll and pop hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s, with the Torquay date sitting right in the middle of the spring leg.
The show is led by Trevor and an ensemble cast, and it's built around a specific formula: raucous comedy sketches and impersonations paired with big vocals and musicianship. The two sides run together, so you get the music and the comedy in the same set rather than one after the other. The songs and the sketches both cover the same ground, taking you through the most iconic moments in comedy, rock 'n' roll and pop culture from the fifties right through to the eighties.
That'll Be The Day bills itself as the world's leading rock 'n' roll show and the number one show of its kind in the UK, and it's been touring for more than 35 years. The whole thing is a tribute to the songs and artists that shaped generations across those four decades, so it's a broad sweep of music rather than a focus on one particular era. The Torquay date is one stop on a wider tour that spans nearly five months, running from 20 January to 6 June 2027.
