Beverley Knight « Born To Perform Tour »

On 2 June 2026, Beverley Knight brings her Born To Perform Tour to Ipswich Regent Theatre, Ipswich, United Kingdom. Raised in a Pentecostal church in Wolverhampton and drawing on Jamaican roots, she shapes a sound where soul, contemporary R&B, pop and gospel meet. From The B-Funk and Prodigal Sista through Who I Am and Affirmation to The Fifth Chapter, her catalogue fuels a set that moves from early cuts to recent material. There are likely nods to Soul UK and Soulsville, with live arrangements that stretch her range and a band ready for slow-burn ballads as much as punchy R&B. Knight’s path has led to major stages, from opening for Take That to shows with Prince at the O2, and she has also taken on notable roles in the West End, including The Bodyguard, Memphis, Cats, The Drifters Girl, Sylvia and Sister Act. In Ipswich, expect a night that threads classic influences with new chapters, weaving soulful intensity, pop hooks and gospel lift under the banner Born To Perform.
