Introducing...

For 34 years, this sensational show has Rock ’n’ Rolled audiences on television, radio and live on stages around the world, earning standing ovations everywhere from Croydon to California. Now revamped for 2026, it features all Buddy Holly’s greatest hits plus classics from Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers and many more.

Five outstanding actor-musicians recreate the sound, spirit and energy of the 1950s in a night bursting with nostalgia, joy and unforgettable live music. Loved by all ages – children are often the first on their feet!

The show was endorsed as Britain’s most popular Buddy Holly act following its appearance on BBC One’s The One and Only, hosted by Graham Norton.

Join thousands of fans worldwide saying: “I can’t believe it’s not Buddy!”
