A Country Night In Nashville

Dominic Halpin and the Hurricanes bring A Country Night In Nashville to the Main Auditorium at Weymouth Pavilion on Friday 3 September 2027. The show comes straight from The Royal Albert Hall, and the whole thing is built around one idea: recreating the scene of a buzzing honky tonk in downtown Nashville. It's designed to capture the energy of an evening in the home of country music, so rather than a standard concert, it's a tribute show that takes you through the history of the genre.

The Hurricanes cover a wide stretch of country music, with hits from Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, The Chicks, Willie Nelson and Kacey Musgraves. That's a fair bit of ground to cover in one night, and the setlist reflects it. You'll hear Ring Of Fire, Crazy, Follow Your Arrow, It's Five O'Clock Somewhere, Need You Now, 9-5 and The Gambler — songs that span different eras and styles, from the early outlaws to the more polished sounds of later years.

Because it's a tribute show, the Hurricanes aren't playing their own material; they're working through the songs of those artists, so the focus is on the music itself rather than a particular band's new record. If you've got a soft spot for country, it's a good way to hear a lot of the big names in one sitting without having to track down separate gigs.

It starts at 7:30pm in the Main Auditorium, and tickets are £31.50.
