🎤 What's Love Got To Do with It - Grove Theatre, Dunstable
Time: 19:30
ℹ️ ABOUT
Brought to you by the award-winning producers behind the hugely successful Queen Of The Night, What’s Love Got To Do With It? This electrifying tribute show celebrates the music and unparalleled 60-year career of the one and only Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Tina Turner.
Get ready for an unforgettable evening of high-energy, feel-good rock and soul, brought to life by a phenomenal live band. Packed with all the classic hits you know and love, the show delivers showstopping performances of Proud Mary, River Deep – Mountain High, Simply The Best, Private Dancer, Nutbush City Limits, and many more.
Stepping into Tina’s iconic heels is Kent’s own Holly Bannis, the daughter of Greg Bannis, former lead singer of Hot Chocolate. Holly’s rise to center stage is as inspiring as it is exciting. Growing up in a musical family, Holly honed her craft for over a decade performing semi-professionally before an audition on ITV’s Starstruck changed her life. “I had to audition as three of my musical icons, and Tina was an obvious choice for me. During lockdown, I studied her performances obsessively, getting into her moves, her walk, and her energy.”
It wasn’t long before the team behind What’s Love Got To Do With It? noticed Holly’s raw talent and passion. Initially cast as a backing singer and understudy, Holly quickly stepped into the spotlight, making the lead role her own and earning standing ovations night after night.
Audiences can expect a show bursting with energy, emotion, and that signature Tina fire. The production kicks off with hits like Private Dancer, as Holly fully inhabits Tina’s powerful vocals and unmistakable moves, transporting fans to the heart of a live Tina Turner concert experience. Then, in the show-stopping second half, the audience is guaranteed to be on their feet, dancing and singing along to high-octane classics like Nutbush City Limits.
What’s Love Got To Do With It? isn’t just a concert – it’s a celebration of Tina Turner’s legacy, a night of unrelenting joy, and a tribute to one of the most electrifying performers in music history.
🎟 TICKETS COST: From £27.00
NOTE: A £3.50 transaction fee will be applied to your booking. You can book via the event link.

🎤 Moments of Pleasure: The Music of Kate Bush | MK11 Milton Keynes | 9th January 2026
Time: 19:30 - 23:00 Price: £24.32
▪️AGE: 14+ with a legal guardian
ℹ️ ABOUT
This 5 piece band features the amazing vocals of Lisa-Marie Walters, as seen on BBC, ITV and heard on BBC 5 and various BBC regional stations.
Her passionate and spellbinding vocal performance is widely lauded as the next best thing to listening to Kate Bush herself!
Far from being about gimmicks, this 5 piece band performs the songs of Kate Bush accurately and affectionately and with stunning authenticity, capturing the tone and emotion of Kate's songs perfectly.
The show will take you on an amazing journey through much of the incredible Kate Bush back catalogue - Moments Of Pleasure will perform many of the singles such as Running Up That Hill, Wuthering Heights, Hounds of Love, Babooshka, Wow and Cloudbusting together with popular tracks from albums such as The Kick Inside, Lionheart, Never For Ever, The Dreaming and Hounds Of Love.
This is a show that no Kate Bush fan will want to miss.
A recent review from a ticket holder and Kate Bush fan: "If you are like me and loved the Kate sound, this is the nearest you'll get. We've seen 5 Kate Bush tributes and every one deserves praise for taking on a massive task. But this gets the sound the best. 2 shows booked, 8 already seen"
