In a town full of music lovers we know we’re on to a winner with a line-up of some of the biggest household names in the business. So whether you’re with us for one of our world-famous tributes, or here for the real deal themselves like T’Pau and The South, you’re guaranteed anthem after anthem, night after night.

“We’re still making up for lost time, so let’s make this autumn count with a great night out. We’ve loads of new beers, fancy gins and our lovely team will be ready with the prosecco on ice.

“There’s one thing we can always be certain of, great music never changes. So let’s come together and celebrate the records that made us – and enjoy an ultimate night of care-free fun.”
