First up in true seventies style, Disco Inferno (Fri 20 Jun) promises a night of non-stop glitter, groove, and glam.

With smash-hits like It’s Raining Men, Car Wash, Love Train and, of course, Disco Inferno, it’s a high-energy celebration that’s sure to have everyone grooving. 

If rock and roll is more your style, prepare to be captivated by the ultimate tribute to Dire Straits, Money For Nothing (Sat 21 Jun). With incredible attention to detail, this exceptional band recreates the iconic sounds that made the original legends famous. Another show bringing serious power to the stage is Women in Rock (Sat 28 Jun), returning to Newbury by popular demand. This critically acclaimed production champions the trailblazing women who have shaped rock music, featuring songs from Blondie, Joan Jett, Janis Joplin, Heart, P!nk and more. With powerhouse vocals, fierce costumes, and an electric atmosphere, it’s an empowering evening of entertainment. Fans of Kate Bush are also in for a treat this season with Cloudbusting: The Music of Kate Bush (Thu 3 Jul), the longest-running and most universally celebrated tribute to the artist. Featuring Kate’s original collaborators, this breathtaking show honours her music with haunting precision and powerful visuals.  

Then, fresh from London’s West End, The Chicago Blues Brothers (Sat 5 Jul) bring their Respect tour to Newbury, blending Motown, soul, rock & roll, and the timeless Blues Brothers hits into one massive party. With a sensational live band, sassy Sweet Sisters, and the unforgettable Jake and Elwood, this is more than a show – it’s a celebration. Also direct from the West End, Fastlove: The George Michael Tribute (Fri 11 Jul) pays tribute to one of pop music’s most beloved stars, George Michael. With powerful vocals and a stunning visual production, this new-for-2025 show captures the essence of George’s music, from his Wham! days to his glittering solo career.

Rounding off the summer line-up are two more unmissable shows. ELO Again (Fri 18 Jul) return with their spectacular Re-Discovery Tour, recreating the soaring strings, rich harmonies and theatrical energy of Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra. It’s a full-scale experience that brings the legendary sound of Mr. Blue Sky, Livin’ Thing and Evil Woman back to the stage in all its orchestral glory. And for fans of country icons, Country Superstars (Sat 19 Jul) is the world’s biggest touring country music tribute – and it’s coming to Newbury.
