Joe Jackson « Hope and Fury Tour 2026 »

Joe Jackson brings his Hope and Fury Tour 2026 to the Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on 2 October 2026. Songwriter, pianist and bandleader, the English musician has spent more than four decades shifting with ease between pop, rock, new wave and orchestral writing, tout en gardant un sens précis de la mélodie et du récit musical. Trained at the Royal Academy of Music, he broke through at the end of the 70s with Look Sharp! and I’m the Man, before Night and Day put him on the map internationally with Steppin’ Out.

On stage, Jackson navigates his catalogue with a taste for contrast and detail: taut rhythms, piano at the core, arrangements that revisit early cuts and later pieces without nostalgia. From the punch of his band-era records to the more cinematic hues explored on Body and Soul, Big World or Will Power, his setlists draw long lines across his career, linking the immediacy of the early singles to recent albums like Fast Forward, Fool and What a Racket!. Expect a focused, agile show where songs are reworked rather than reproduced, and where craft, timing and dynamics do the talking.
