How to get Icons: Orchestral tickets for first-ever orchestral residency at London Palladium
For the first time in its 114-year history, The London Palladium will host a monthly orchestral residency celebrating the music of The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bee Gees and Phil Collins. Here’s how to get tickets today.
While some of our favourite musicians may not be alive today, their music will forever be immortal thanks to records, CDs, and streaming services. However, in recent years, we’ve found a way to listen to music from our favourite artists live on stage, as their most popular tracks are performed by bands and orchestras in experiences such as candlelight concerts. So while you can’t see David Bowie perform Starman on stage, you can experience the next best thing: an orchestra celebrating his work.
For the first time ever (if you can believe it!), The London Palladium will host a monthly orchestral residency, celebrating music from iconic artists The Rolling Stones in February, David Bowie in March, the Bee Gees in April, and Phil Collins in May.
Catatonia’s Cerys Matthews will present all of the concerts besides the Bee Gees one, which will be hosted by DJ Trevor Nelson. The artists’ songs will be brought to life by the famous 25-piece The Leo Green Orchestra, which is fronted by legendary saxophonist Leo Green. The Leo Green Orchestra has worked with the likes of Elvis Costello, Tom Jones, Beverley Knight, and Ben E. King, just to name a few.
Plus, vocalists for the monthly orchestral residency will include Nick Shirm, who has worked with Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, and performed at the Northern Soul Proms this July — if you haven’t heard Shirm performing Long After Tonight Is All Over, you’re in for a treat!
Speaking of the upcoming orchestral performances, Green said: “This is such an honour for The Leo Green Orchestra, to take up a monthly residency at the iconic London Palladium. I am so proud to be presenting the songs of some of the most loved artists of all time in this extraordinary venue – I encourage everyone of all ages to come along and join us and enjoy the songs that have provided the soundtracks to all of our lives.”
