The most epic music festival of the century is coming, and you’re all invited… or not, we don’t really care 🎉👀! Dave Stewart Eurythmics is joining the legendary Lionel Richie for an exclusive UK show at The Sandringham Estate in Norfolk in August, because who needs a social life when you can spend your summer singing along to “Sweet Dreams” with a bunch of old people 🎶👴? The acclaimed singer, songwriter, musician, and producer (wow, that’s a lot of titles 🤯) who co-founded Eurythmics with the incredible Annie Lennox (don’t @ me, Annie is a queen 👑) will be bringing the band’s iconic catalogue to the stage with an all-female band, because girl power, baby! 💁♀️🔥
But wait, it gets better! Vanessa Amorosi, the Australian multi-million-selling vocalist, will be joining the party, because who doesn’t love a good Aussie accent 🇦🇺👋? After her performance on the Dave Stewart & Friends show at the Troubadour in 2012, she became BFFs with Stewart, and they bonded over their shared love of gospel music and gospel arranging 🎶👫. She’s toured extensively with Dave Stewart Eurythmics and even appeared on the acclaimed Eurythmics Songbook: Sweet Dreams 40th Anniversary Tour in 2023, because 40 is the new 20, right? 🎉👀
The performance will be a tribute to the music that made Eurythmics one of the most influential acts of the 1980s and beyond 📆🔙. Following the duo’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (yaaas, they’re officially cool now 🤘), Dave Stewart has revisited the songs that helped define a generation 🎸👀. Known for their unique blend of synthpop, new wave, soul, and rock (basically, they’re the OG genre-benders 🤯), Eurythmics have sold over 75 million albums worldwide and remain enduring icons of contemporary music 📀👑.
But don’t worry, it’s not all about the old folks 🙅♂️! Joss Stone and Brooke Combe will also be joining the party 🎉👯! Joss Stone is a Grammy and Brit Award-winning artist who released her debut album, The Soul Sessions, in 2003, at the age of 16 (yeah, we’re all feeling inadequate now 🙃). She’s performed and collaborated with legends like James Brown, Burt Bacharach, Stevie Wonder, and Gladys Knight (basically, she’s the queen of soul 🙌). Her 2022 release, Never Forget My Love, was written with and produced by Dave Stewart (sensing a theme here? 🤔), with whom she also co-wrote music and lyrics for the West End musical The Time Traveller’s Wife 🕰️📚.
Brooke Combe released her debut album Dancing At The Edge of The World last year (yaaas, new music 🎶), introducing her signature blend of raw emotion, soul-infused melodies, and fearless storytelling (sounds like a real party 🎉). Produced by The Coral’s James Skelly, it’s like a mashup of Michael Kiwanuka and Leon Bridges, with lush, orchestral arrangements, irresistible rhythms, and a voice that could have come right out of Motown 🎤👌.
