Heartfelt celebration of the iconic late Beatle’s life and music comes to 26 venues in 2025.
A compelling new celebration of the life and music of legendary Liverpool icon John Lennon is set to embark on a major UK tour in 2025. Something About Lennon – The John Lennon Story comes from the same team behind the acclaimed shows Something About George, which salutes the talent of the late George Harrison, and Something About Simon which showcases the music of singer-songwriting genius Paul Simon.
The show will embark on its inaugural tour from May to July 2025, visiting 26 locations across the country. Opening in Wrexham on May 19 before three dates in Scotland, Arbroath on 20 May, Airdrie on 21 May and Dundee on May 22. From there the tour arrives at Ulverston on 23 May, Wolverhampton (25 May) and St Helens (27 May) before travelling to New Brighton (28 May), Southport (31 May), Crewe (1 June), June), Birmingham (4 June) Yarm (6 June), Hull (7 June), Cheltenham (10 June), Blackburn (12 June), Leeds (13 Alnwick (14 June), Hexham (15 June), Blackpool (18 June), Coventry (19 June), Shrewsbury (20 June), Swindon on 24 June, Peterborough (25 June), Sale (26 June) and Lincoln (4 July). The tour ends in in Wakefield on 5 July.
West End performer and musician Daniel Taylor fronts the production’s band of five and tells the fascinating story of Lennon along with performing his best-known, best-loved hits. The band are Joe Smithson (MD, Guitar and Vocals), Callum Macmillan (Percussion/Drums), Jesse Eigen (Bass Guitar and Vocals) and James Breckon (Keyboard and Vocals).
Weaving together songs and stories, Something About Lennon is not a tribute show as we know it, but rather one musician authentically telling the tale and honouring the music of another in a story that will reveal a life that wasn’t always filled with peace and love. A tale of controversy, genius, politics and protest, Something About Lennon charts John’s life from the breakup of the Beatles at the end of the 1960s to his shocking murder in New York in December 1980 and features an irresistible soundtrack of incredible songs including Woman, Instant Karma and Imagine – although of course the story wouldn’t be complete without a few of those Fab Four classics along the way too.
Something About Lennon is brought to audiences by producers Bill Elms, Jon Fellowes and Gary Edward Jones of Something About Productions.
