The Shires

The Shires bring their British take on country-pop to The London Palladium, London, on 11 November 2026. Formed in 2013, the duo of Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes blend Nashville-style storytelling with a distinctly English sensibility. On stage, Rhodes’ lead voice and Earle’s harmonies anchor songs about relationships and everyday life, carried by clean, contemporary arrangements. The set will draw from across their catalogue — Brave, My Universe, Accidentally on Purpose, Good Years and 10 Year Plan — balancing intimate ballads and upbeat cuts shaped for the live room. Over the years, they’ve toured alongside Little Big Town, The Corrs, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood, Tom Jones and Tears for Fears, reinforcing their role as a link between the UK country scene and its US counterpart. At the Palladium, The Shires revisit the songwriting and vocal interplay that define their sound, with melodies built for singing along and stories that keep the focus on the everyday.
