Info
David Essex plays Victoria Theatre in Halifax on 21 September 2026. Singer, songwriter and actor, he first emerged from London’s theatre scene before breaking through in 1973 with Rock On, a lean track that blended glam textures, British pop and a rock’n’roll pulse. Across albums like Rock On, David Essex, All the Fun of the Fair, Out on the Street and Imperial Wizard, his writing shifted toward melodic pop-rock, carried by a supple, storytelling voice.
On stage, he revisits the songs that mapped his path, from early singles to later cuts, with room for Rock On, Hold Me Close and Gonna Make You a Star alongside deeper catalogue moments. His work in musicals leaves a trace here too: echoes of Godspell, Evita and Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds give the set a theatrical edge, backed by a live band. A show built around songs, stories and groove from an artist at ease between studio, stage and screen.
