Later … With Jools Holland: 30 Years of Music, Magic and Mayhem

Jools Holland and Mark Cooper – Live on Stage in London

Join Logo

Join Jools Holland, Mark Cooper and a grand piano for an unforgettable night of stories and songs celebrating the greatest music show ever made.

Dave Grohl and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran’s life was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified but inspired, and they all kept coming back.

Now, the star and showrunner of Later… join us live on stage to take us behind the scenes of one of the world’s great musical meeting places.

Legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and David Bowie found a regular welcome, alongside the next generation of superstars including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Amy Winehouse. Part of what has made the show so special is the format – all those bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as well as to perform in Jools’ circle of dreams.

But there’s always been plenty of mayhem alongside the magic of convening a room full of musicians hosted by one of their own.

Don’t miss an unforgettable night with Jools and Mark as they pull back the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined.
