Beverley Knight to bring big hits and theatre favourites to Wolverhampton at big home town gig at end of national tour

Beverley Knight will be taking to the stage of the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton in June next year to perform the last date of her huge UK headline tour, which is called "Born to Perform".

The Wolverhampton-born singer will be bringing her extensive back catalogue of hits to the Halls on June 30 with a show which will also share stories from her life on the stage. 

She will perform her biggest hits as well as favourites from musical theatre and cherished songs which have inspired her journey alongside her live band and said she was excited to be touring with a different kind of show.

She said: "I’m excited to get back on the road but with a different kind of show folk are used to with me.

"Born to Perform’ is me taking you on a journey through my life on both music and theatre stages, using my memories and of course my songs. 

"I’m stripping back my sound so the audience can lean in a little closer and really hear my soul.”

Beverley Knight's live performances have gained her a legion of famous fans over the years from David Bowie to Stevie Wonder and she has collaborated on stage and on record with the likes of Prince, Jamiroquai, Bocelli, Take That, Joss Stone & Marvin Gaye. 

She has also forged a formidable parallel career in theatre, including having recently been nominated for Best Female Lead Actor in her first professional play at the Black British Theatre Awards for Marie & Rosetta. 

Other honours from her career include an Olivier Award for her portrayal of Emmeline Pankhurst in Sylvia at The Old Vic, in the Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Musical category in 2023. 

She has returned to Wolverhampton to perform on several occasions, with a headline show at the Civic Hall in 2024 for her 50 tour and appearing at the Grand Theatre in May in Marie & Rosetta.

Tickets for the Born to Perform tour go on sale on Friday at 10am.
