SUMMARY:Colchester Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Dire Streets bring to life the classic songs of one of the world’s greatest guitar bands with a level of musicianship and attention to detail that makes them the stand out Dire Straits tribute in the UK. \nThe two-hour theatre show includes faithful renditions of classic studio tracks along with extended live versions from some of the legendary Dire Straits concerts. \nFor the best part of a decade\, Dire Streets have performed Dire Straits’ incredible back catalogue to thousands of theatre-goers across the UK. \nNo other Dire Streets tribute act comes as close to reproducing Mark Knopfler’s distinctive guitar and vocal tones – making Dire Streets as near to the original band as you can see live. \nThe six-piece band is made up of some of the country’s top tribute musicians and delivers a stunning show that fulfils their mission of doing justice to one of the most original and talented bands the UK has ever produced.

SUMMARY:Cloudbusting - The Music of Kate Bush
DESCRIPTION:‘Utterly\, surreally brilliant’ – Mick Wall\, Classic Rock Magazine \nCloudbusting can’t wait to share their love for the music of Kate Bush with their two-hour stage production featuring all the hits you’d expect – as well as many songs you wouldn’t! Wuthering Heights\, Hounds of Love\, Babooshka\, This Woman’s Work… and of course the world-wide No.1 hit single that took every music chart by storm 37 years after its release – Running Up That Hill – all with breath-taking vocals and superb musicianship \nThe show is enhanced with stunning back-projection visuals which reflect the character and mood of the songs\, making a Cloudbusting concert an event that no Kate Bush fan will want to miss!  \n‘Blown away – your spin on Kate Bush is amazing’ – RTÉ Radio \nCloudbusting are the longest running and most universally celebrated tribute to the music of Kate Bush. With TV appearances and live performances across both the UK and Europe\, the band has earned an enviable reputation for being unquestionably the most accurate and authentic live experience for Kate fans. \nSignificantly\, they are the only band in the world to have performed Kate’s music with her original bass player and long standing sound engineer Del Palmer\, as well as drummer and percussionist Preston Heyman who appeared on the Tour Of Life\, Never For Ever & The Dreaming. The band has also performed with Stewart Avon-Arnold – Kate’s co-choreographer and dance partner who appeared with her in so many of those iconic videos and performances throughout her career. That’s quite an endorsement for Cloudbusting but it also stands as a reflection of the talent\, tenacity and passion that the 5-piece band has for Kate’s stunning music. \n‘I could have been listening to Kate herself!’ – Preston Heyman \nWith tickets to shows selling out fast\, be sure to look out for tour dates near you – Cloudbusting would love to exchange the experience!

SUMMARY:When Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £27.50.Doors open 7pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nRhythm\, Rust & Static Tour 2026  \nFrom July to October 2026\, When Rivers Meet return to the stage with the Rhythm Rust & Static Tour\, following the release of their brand-new studio album Rhythm Rust & Static\, out in spring 2026.  \nRecorded with an intentionally stripped-back\, analogue-inspired approach\, Rhythm Rust & Static captures the raw essence of When Rivers Meet\, intimate\, gritty\, and emotionally charged. The tour reflects that same spirit: a smaller\, more focused on-stage setup\, delivering a huge\, immersive sound that puts songwriting\, feel\, and connection at the heart of the show.  \nAudiences can expect to hear all ten tracks from the new album performed live\, alongside a carefully chosen selection of favourites from the When Rivers Meet back catalogue. Across this 14-date UK tour\, each night promises a powerful\, close-quarters experience.  \nOn stage\, When Rivers Meet remain exactly what they have always been: Grace & Aaron Bond. They are joined by long-time collaborator James Fox\, adding depth and texture through percussion\, guitar\, and backing vocals. With three musicians on stage\, the sound is expansive and full-bodied.  \nFresh from a run of remarkable chart success including a Top 10 Official UK Albums Chart entry with Aces Are High and a #4 Official UK Albums Chart with Addicted To You\, alongside multiple Official UK #1 positions across genre and format charts\, When Rivers Meet continue to prove that independence and ambition can go hand in hand.  \nThis is When Rivers Meet at their most distilled and most intense.  \nwww.wheniversmeet.co.uk

Named after Alice Cooper’s 1970s drinking club\, which included the likes of John Lennon\, Keith Moon and Mickey Dolenz\, Hollywood Vampires quickly earned a reputation for blistering live shows – a riotous mix of original anthems and tributes to the legends who inspired them. \nTheir sets are a raucous celebration of rock’s greatest icons\, performed alongside their own powerhouse material. Hollywood Vampires’ shows feature stone-cold classics from The Who\, Led Zeppelin\, David Bowie\, Motörhead\, The Doors\, AC/DC and more\, alongside hits from Alice Cooper and Aerosmith. There is a documentary in the works called “Unleashed Spirits – The Rise of The Hollywood Vampires” and a trailer can now be viewed at www.hollywoodvampires.com \n“After almost three years away\, we’re finally coming back to tour the UK and Europe— We’re looking forward to Incredible crowds\, massive energy and more unforgettable nights. See you all soon!” – Hollywood Vampires \nThe Damned are supporting Hollywood Vampires with 12 studio albums – including the era-defining Damned Damned Damned – and several UK chart singles under their belts\, the legends mark their 50th anniversary with a new tour and album. Released on Friday January 23\, Not Like Everybody Else is a deeply personal and celebratory covers album dedicated to the memory of Brian James\, the bands legendary founding guitarist who died in 2025. \nFriday 21 August 2026\, 17:00 to 22:30.PLEASE NOTE\, RE-ENTRY IS NOT POSSIBLE AT THIS EVENT. \nThis event is classified at 6+\, this means that anyone between 6 years and 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult over the age of 21 (adult refers to a parent\, guardian or older relative that is responsible for the care and actions of the under 18 year old).

SUMMARY:Nana Benz Du Togo
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £15 / £13 concessions.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a standing audience. \nOrganic-electronic feminist songs from West Africa. \nVoodoo tradition meets soul—built for the dance floor. There are five of them—like the fingers of one hand. A hand ready to form a fist and strike with power\, or gently caress the earth with groove and grace. \nNana Benz du Togo channels an organic sound steeped in sub-bass and layered with complex polyrhythms\, creating a hypnotic foundation for the voices of three electrifying electro-soul preachers. \nArmed with nothing more than their voices and a vintage Korg keyboard\, this powerful ensemble crafts a sound that’s both raw and transcendent. Their live shows are nothing short of spiritual—a blend of ancestral energy and modern fire that has left thousands in a trance across European stages. \nBandcamp:https://nanabenzdutogo.bandcamp.com/album/ago \nNana Benz Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/intl-pt/artist/4GhejcivCG3Eyp9iMwnxEp \nVideo:https://www.youtube.com/watchv=hyTXiThYWRo&list=RDhyTXiThYWRo&start_radio=1 \nKexp Session:https://www.youtube.com/watchv=8uDs4X93MYo&list=RD8uDs4X93MYo&start_radio=1&t=768s

DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate Queen in style with A Comprehensive re-enactment of Queen’s Greatest Hits \nDon’t Stop us Now – and there’s certainly no stopping The Bohemians as they power through thirty-four (YES 34!!) of Queen’s greatest hits\, taken from Hits 1 & 2\, over this two hour show! \nThe Bohemians are one of the UK’s longest-running and internationally renowned Queen Tribute bands\, who take you on a high-energy roller-coaster ride of a concert\, featuring the music\, costumes\, and showmanship of one of the world’s most popular and iconic rock acts of all time\, Queen. \nBilled as ‘The World’s most exciting Queen Tribute’ The Bohemians start proceedings as they mean to continue. \nRight from the beginning\, you will be gripped by a bombastic\, authentic audiovisual representation of Queen’s iconic Wembley ‘86 performance as the Bohemians burst onto the stage to the strains of One Vision and A Kind of Magic. So many fabulous hits to be covered but they’re all here\, from the early piano and harmony heavy wonders of Killer Queen and Don’t Stop Me Now\, to the later\, catchy pop anthems of the eighties. \nThe second hour concentrates on the later hits\, and once again there is an array of brilliance to embrace. \nThe stunning Breakthru provides both the introduction and the costume presentation for this part of the set\, which includes a new feature of The Bohemians stage show\, a slick rendering of classics from the late eighties and early nineties era. I Want it all\, The Show must go on\, and the haunting\, Days of our Lives are just some of those featured. \nThe set then pays tribute to the sights and sounds of the famous Live Aid performance and of course\, the awesome Bohemian Rhapsody. Then it’s back to Wembley ‘86 for a spectacular finale when The Bohemians will have you on your feet\, singing\, dancing and clapping along to the likes of Radio Ga Ga\, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions. A climax to a truly memorable live re-enactment of the world’s greatest Rock Band.

SUMMARY:Shed + Oi MATE! + Basalt + Very Special Opening Act
DESCRIPTION:Keep Colchester Cool in collaboration with Colchester Arts Centre presents \nShed  \nFlowing out of some misty East Anglian estuary\, Shed are a Colchester-based collective fusing indie rock\, punk spirit\, and folk storytelling into a fast-paced\, heart-on-sleeve whirlwind of sound. Their music is a rollercoaster of raw emotion and sharp humour – where fish and chips\, anxiety\, lazy susans\, and mending pottery all have equal weight in the lyrical spotlight. With storytelling at the core and chaos at the edges\, Shed’s songs dive headfirst into the beautiful dysfunction of everyday life\, spinning tales that are as relatable as they are unpredictable. Whimsical\, thought-provoking\, and proudly rough around the edges – Shed is less a band\, more a glorious mess you’ll want to be part of.  \nOi Mate  \nMade up from the jaded remnants of several failed local bands\, Oi MATE!’s take on life\, the media and politics is tongue-in-cheek at best. Described as Wonk-Punk curators of throwaway British culture since at least the middle of last week – expect some surprising twists and turns delivered with a unique wonk-punk wink and a cheeky swagger.  \nBasalt  \nBasalt is the collaboration between sound artist Frazer Merrick and drummer Ben Hunt\, creating breakbeat electronica. 90s-inspired beats are accompanied by DIY synths and processed field recordings. A sound that is both rough and polished at the same time. \nwith A Very Special Opening Act. \nTickets £8/£7 concsDoors open 7.30pm\, show starts 8pmThis gig is for a standing audience
