Hi Everyone, hot on the heels of last week's announcement of The Chicago Blues Brothers, here's news of another epic, star-studded show coming to Twinwood in 2025...
We Three Kings of Rock and Roll
Sunday 24th August 2025, Main Arena
We Three Kings of Rock and Roll brings the spirit of four legends together (yes four, not three, more on that later...) in an epic theatre show comprised of West End stars, that features Steve Halliday's tribute to Elvis Presley, alongside guest stars recreating the spirit of Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison.
After the roaring success of this show at Twinwood a couple of years ago it was inevitable that we would be bringing it back here again, and we are delighted to include it in our 2025 lineup.
When we last brought this show to Twinwood (pictured above), we'd never seen the Main Arena so packed, and it should be mentioned that specially for us, it was expanded to Four Kings, with the inclusion of Peter's Gill's fabulous tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis, and of course the show will include this "Fourth King" again when it returns to Twinwood in 2025.
This is an uplifting, unforgettable show celebrating these great icons, with an accuracy to their performances that will transport you right back to the days when Rock and Roll was King!

Hi Everyone, the Twinwood 2025 band announcements are building up now, and we've got another real treat for all of you lined up next year with this spectacular show:
Saturday 23rd August 2025, Main Arena
The Chicago Blues Brothers come to Twinwood Festival in 2025 as the biggest and most-loved Blues Brothers show in the world. For over 27 years, this unforgettable band has rocked prestigious venues worldwide with electrifying, high-octane performances that have taken over iconic stages from the O2 Arena in London, to the Madinat Theatre in Dubai.
This production is a jubilant homage to the legendary Jake and Elwood Blues, bringing together the best of Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Country, and Motown in one thrilling show. Audiences can expect the unexpected, with surprises and zany theatrics woven into every performance.
Joining Jake and Elwood on stage are The Sweet Soul Sisters, whose powerhouse vocals add an extra layer of soul, and the phenomenal CBB Band, whose masterful musicianship delivers the hits you know and love. Prepare yourself for an evening of non-stop dancing and musical magic, packed with infectious energy and fun from start to finish!

Hi Everyone, we've got a special announcement today, with the return of one of our favourite international bands to Twinwood 2025...
Ray Collins' Hot Club on Saturday 23rd August 2025, Main Arena
Ray Collins' Hot Club is one of those rare bands who match the creativity of their critically-acclaimed albums, with a wild stage presence overflowing with boundless energy and showmanship. Their own original compositions have brought them international fame, with a perfect mixture of Jump Blues, Swing and Rock 'n' Roll.
They will be flying over from Germany just for Twinwood Festival, and will have everyone in our Main Arena jumping and jiving. The band wowed us all when they first appeared here in 2022, and we can't wait to welcome them back in 2025 for their second appearance.
With over a dozen albums, movie appearances, and tours in over 30 countries to their name, this is a band that keeps the vintage sound alive with true authenticity and a star status, that evokes the legends that inspire their music.

The Overtures are our first band announcement for 2025, we are bringing back a favourite of yours. It has now been a few years since The Overtures performed here, so we are delighted to welcome them back again to Twinwood's Main Arena on the final evening of next year's festival. Main Aren - Monday 25th August 2025
The Overtures have spent the past twenty five years building their reputation as the finest sixties tribute band in the country. You’ll hear every aspect of 60s music from the early beat-pop of The Beatles and The Kinks, the ‘surf' sound of The Beach Boys, the rhythm and blues of The Stones, the folk-rock of the Byrds and Mamas and Papas through to the power of The Who.
The band have just returned to the UK from a two-month sell out tour of their Bootleg Sixties Theatre Show in Europe. And the recent release of their first ever full album of original songs, ‘Onceinaworld’, continues to receive rave reviews worldwide....
They have a reputation of being the go-to band to entertain at the parties of some of the biggest celebrities in the world, for example Elvis Costello and Diana Krall's wedding, Lulu's 60th birthday party, and they have performed at numerous private parties for Paul McCartney, Richard Branson, Elton John and more.
Elton John himself said of them: “They're the best band of their kind in the world!”.
