Preview: Beloved tour That’ll Be the Day back to mark unforgettable 40th Anniversary

Trevor Payne and Prestige Productions are back on the road as That’ll Be the Day embarks on its unmissable 40th anniversary spring tour, including dates in Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Fareham, and Portsmouth.

Returning with their much-loved tribute of rock ‘n’ pop hits of the ‘50s through to the ‘80s, this sensational production takes audiences on a joyful, nostalgic journey through the music and culture of the golden era.

That’ll Be the Day returns with Trevor and his wonderful ensemble presenting a phenomenal homage to the legendary performers of the past decades. Audiences, both new and old, are dazzled with over 60 iconic hits such as The Beatles, Whitney Houston, The Rolling Stones, Tina Turner and Cliff Richard.

Relive the iconic pop culture of the ‘50s to the ‘80s as the iconic tunes and comedy sketches from the golden era are relived.

Alongside the timeless music, the show’s trademark comedy sketches and impressions keep audiences laughing throughout.

Since rising to stardom on Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent: All Stars, Ball has achieved eleven No.1 global chart rankings, amassed over 140 million views, released a chart topping album and partnered with That’ll Be the Day for a charity single Make A Wish Come True in support of Make A Wish UK.

That’ll Be the Day has raised over £1million for Childline, Make A Wish, Help for Heroes, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, and numerous appeals, including the Red Cross Ukraine Appeal, through post-show bucket collections.
