Kilworth House Theatre has unveiled the line-up of its annual Live at Kilworth season – a vibrant celebration of music, talent and summer nights under the open sky.
It features a mix of crowd favourites and new acts making their Kilworth debut, with the season running from August 5 to 23.
There will be tributes to an array of legendary acts. The season begins Talon, a world-renowned tribute to the music of the Eagles. Other acts include Abba Revival, One Night of Billy Joel, Man in the Mirror – celebrating Michael Jackson – ELO Again, The Dolly Show, Legend Live: Bob Marley, Tina Turner tribute Totally Tina, Fleetwood Mac tribute Go Your Own Way, and The Bohemians – a high-energy performance that aims to capture the spirit of Freddie Mercury and Queen.
There’s plenty for fans of more modern pop and rock too. Sky Full of Stars celebrates Coldplay, Take That VS Robbie brings Britain’s biggest boy band’s greatest hits to life, joined live on stage by a Robbie Williams tribute, and Taylormania is an award-winning tribute to Taylor Swift.
Other shows celebrate styles, genres and particular events. Beyond the Barricade brings the magic of musical theatre favourites, all performed with live orchestration and top vocal talent. The Last Night of the Proms sees the ever-popular 33-piece British Philharmonic Orchestra returning for a spectacular celebration of British tradition. Rock N Roll Party Time is a night of ‘50s feelgood fun as five true greats take music lovers back to the golden age of rock ’n’ roll, with Jerry Lee Lewis’s wild, pumping piano, Johnny Cash’s raw country rockabilly, Gene Vincent’s leather‑clad swagger, Buddy Holly’s timeless riffs and Elvis Presley at his youthful, electrifying best. And A Country Night in Nashville recreates the scene of a buzzing Honky Tonk in downtown Nashville, promising to capture the energy and atmosphere of an evening in the home of country music.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy a pre-show picnic in the grounds.
