Door Time: 5.30pm

Following a sold-out performance at Portsmouth Guildhall in 2026, this extraordinary collaboration returns by popular demand. Bringing together The D-Day Darlings and the internationally acclaimed BBC Big Band, this is a spectacular celebration of the wartime and swing era.

Also starring Lance Ellington, the voice of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, whose rich, soulful vocals and commanding stage presence have captivated millions. Having performed with global icons including Michael Jackson, George Michael and Robbie Williams, Lance brings a truly world-class dimension to the show.

Expect a powerful and evocative programme of wartime favourites including We’ll Meet Again, The White Cliffs of Dover and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, alongside timeless swing from Glenn Miller, Count Basie and Duke Ellington.

With nine Darlings, eighteen world-class musicians and the direction of Barry Forgie, this is a high-energy, heartfelt celebration of music, memory and nostalgia.
