Tribute show with Holly Bannis and a live band working through the hits of Tina Turner at the Princess Theatre.
Holly Bannis brings What's Love Got To Do With It? to the Princess Theatre on Friday 12 February 2027, a tribute show built around the music and career of Tina Turner. It's a live production, with Bannis fronting a full band, and it works its way through Turner's classic hits: Proud Mary, River Deep – Mountain High, Simply The Best, Private Dancer and Nutbush City Limits are all in the set. It's not endorsed by or affiliated with the Tina Turner Estate.
Bannis herself comes from Kent and is the daughter of Greg Bannis, former lead singer of Hot Chocolate. She spent more than a decade performing semi-professionally before an audition on ITV's Starstruck changed things; she was cast initially as a backing singer and understudy, but soon stepped into the lead role and has earned standing ovations night after night since. This is the same show that spent 2026 on the road, with more than 60,000 fans across the UK singing and dancing along.

It's a full band on stage, not a backing track, so the sound is live. The setlist covers the broad stretch of Turner's career, from the early R&B of River Deep – Mountain High to the later pop of Private Dancer and Simply The Best, with Proud Mary and Nutbush City Limits in between. It's a night of the songs most people know by heart, performed live at the Princess Theatre on Torbay Road, Torquay, TQ2 5EZ.
