Musical maestro Jools Holland and his famous Rhythm & Blues Orchestra are returning to our transformed venue as part of their freshly announced 2025 Autumn/Winter tour, joined this year by special guest Imelda May.

One of Ireland’s most celebrated artists, Imelda May has had many high-profile collaborations with Jeff Beck, and performed with music legends including Lou Reed, Bono and Tom Jones. With a dynamic blend of blues, rock, soul, gospel, and jazz, Imelda’s self-written and produced album Love Tattoo remains the best-selling album by a homegrown female artist in Ireland. Her electric performances promise an unforgettable experience for audiences.

The tour will also mark an exciting new chapter as Ed Richardson is welcomed in as the orchestra’s new drummer. Fans will be thrilled to hear that the shows will once again feature the incredible Ruby Turner and the outstanding vocals of Louise Marshall, and Sumudu Jayatilaka. Together with the skilful musicianship of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Jools Holland will be performing songs from throughout his career. With a catalogue of classics to choose from, the show is sure to have fans on their feet!
