Beverley Knight « Born to Perform Tour »

Beverley Knight brings her Born To Perform Tour to Brighton Dome on 24 June 2026. Raised in a Pentecostal church in Wolverhampton, she draws a clear line from gospel to contemporary R&B, soul and neo-soul, a mix that has shaped a three-decade career. From The B-Funk (1995) and Prodigal Sista (1998) through Who I Am (2002) and Affirmation (2004), then Music City Soul (2007), 100% (2009), Soul UK (2011), Soulsville (2016) and her recent The Fifth Chapter (2023), her catalogue moves easily between confessional songwriting and groove-led cuts.

On stage, that history turns into a focused live set: tight band, stacked harmonies and arrangements that lean into funk and pop while keeping the soul at the centre. Years in front of arena crowds and lead roles in the West End (The Bodyguard, Memphis, Cats, The Drifters Girl, Sylvia, Sister Act) feed into seasoned stagecraft and storytelling, from slow-burn ballads to full-throttle numbers. Born To Perform is a snapshot of her path so far, with fresh takes across the albums and choir-rooted call-and-response moments that lift the room. Brighton gets the arc from early breakthroughs to her latest chapter.
