About This Event

Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra will take over Symphony Hall in Birmingham on Friday 20 November 2026, delivering their signature fusion of boogie-woogie, swing, and blues. From his piano, Holland presides as his fingers dance across the keys, while the full orchestra swells behind him, weaving together brass, strings, and soulful vocal harmonies. The evening’s energy ebbs and flows, shifting from raucous, foot-stomping numbers to quieter, more tender moments that fill the hall with a dynamic sense of drama. The setlist is expected to draw from Holland’s own catalogue alongside classic covers, all delivered with the tight, celebratory precision for which his ensemble is renowned. Tickets are priced at £60.
