THAT'LL BE THE DAY Will Embark on Spring UK Tour

Trevor Payne and Prestige Productions are back on the road as That’ll Be The Day embarks on its 40th anniversary spring tour. Returning with their tribute of rock ‘n’ pop hits of the ‘50s through to the ‘80s, this production takes audiences on a 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 stetches from the golden era are relived. Alongside the timeless music, the show’s trademark comedy sketches and impressions keep audiences laughing throughout.

In honour of its 40 years on tour, That’ll Be The Day returns to the London Palladium for a special performance on 3rd of February 2026 featuring guest star Tom Ball. 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. 

Trevor Payne, director, producer and vocalist for That’ll Be The Day comments, One of the secrets behind our success is the dedication and hard work of the entire company. I’m especially proud that what began as performances in clubs and holiday camps has evolved into the UK’s number one touring rock and roll theatre show in the country. Unlike any other act I know, That’ll Be The Day refreshes its content annually and strives to improve production year on year. It is unique in many ways and continues to captivate and delight our loyal army of fans across the country. 

That’ll Be The Day opens in January in Essex, with further dates in Hertfordshire, Hampshire, London, Warwickshire, Cheshire, Wales, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Herefordshire, Buckinghamshire, Nottinghamshire, County Durham, Merseyside, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Devon, Cornwall, Surrey, Bedfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Kent, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, West Sussex, Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire and more.
