Celebrate jukebox greats with Strictly stars and top harmony group
Strictly Come Dancing favourites Louis Smith and Nadiya Bychkova are teaming up with the platinum-selling vocal harmony group The Overtones in a new show coming to Leicester.
Called Jukebox Idols, the evening promises a “non-stop whirlwind” of the greatest hits from the ‘50s and ‘60s’ biggest stars, celebrating era-defining music from the likes of Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, The Beatles, The Beach Boys and Motown acts, among many others that poured from jukeboxes around the globe.
With their distinctive style, The Overtones’ chart-topping quartet of Mark Franks, Darren Everest, Jay James and Mike Crawshaw have enjoyed more than a decade of success during which the in-demand group achieved five Top 10 albums. They have performed multiple sold-out tours and headlined many of the world's most prestigious venues, including the London Palladium and the Royal Albert Hall. The group also performed at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, played to more than one million people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and, in 2022, sang at the World Cup in Qatar before England’s victory over Senegal.
The Overtones will joined on stage by world–champion professional dancer and Strictly Come Dancing star Nadiya Bychkova and former Olympic gymnast and Strictly champion Louis Smith MBE.
Looking ahead to the tour, The Overtones said in a statement: “We’re so excited to be part of Jukebox Idols alongside Nadiya and Louis. We’re big fans of Strictly, so this feels like a perfect match. With a show full of jukebox classics that everyone knows and love, including brand new music we’re excited to share live on stage, we can’t wait to bring the party to audiences across the UK.”
