About the show

34 Years of Rock ’n’ Rolling the World — on TV, Radio & In Venues Worldwide

THE ROCK ’N’ ROLL LEGENDS SHOW
“Buddy brilliant!” – Graham Norton, BBC One

For more than three decades, this sensational show has Rock ’n’ Rolled audiences on TV, radio and in theatres and outdoor venues across the globe — from Croydon to California, Barking to Bangkok and Swindon to Sweden.  With standing ovations every night, it’s hard to imagine the show getting any better… but for 2026, it just has.

The brand-new Rock ’n’ Roll Legends Show celebrates all of Buddy Holly’s best-loved songs, alongside the biggest hits from fellow 50s icons including Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran, The Everly Brothers and Ray Charles.

With 34 years of sell-out UK and international touring, Buddy Holly and The Cricketers has firmly established itself as the ultimate live rock ’n’ roll experience.  Featuring five top actor-musicians, the show was endorsed as Britain’s most popular Buddy Holly act when the boys appeared on BBC One’s primetime entertainment show The One and Only, hosted by Graham Norton.

Every night, this amazing show brings to life the songs parents danced to, grandparents fell in love to and families still cherish today.  From Buddy’s timeless hits to the unmistakable voices of Elvis, Little Richard and The Everly Brothers, every number is performed with warmth, joy and the irresistible energy only live music can deliver.

Children adore the show too — they’re often the first on their feet, and when they start dancing, the whole room follows.

The Buddy Holly & The Cricketers Rock ’n’ Roll Legends Show is the ultimate night out for all ages. Whatever the season and whatever the excuse to celebrate, make your heartbeat a little faster with the show that has thousands of fans around the world saying: “I can’t believe it’s not Buddy!”
