Postmodern Jukebox bring their vintage magic to Birmingham’s Symphony Hall in 2026

Postmodern Jukebox — the world-famous group known for turning modern hits into sparkling vintage showstoppers — are heading to Birmingham in 2026 as part of their Future Is Vintage world tour. They’ll take over Symphony Hall on 26 May, bringing their trademark mix of nostalgia, glamour and high-energy fun to one of the UK’s most iconic venues.

The band, created by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee in 2011, first captured imaginations through a series of YouTube videos recorded in a tiny New York apartment. Their clever re-imaginings of pop favourites — swapping synths for swing, and beats for brass — quickly became a global sensation. Today, their performances have been viewed more than a billion times online, and their live shows sell out across six continents.

Birmingham audiences can expect a completely new production packed with dance-ready numbers, breathtaking vocals and plenty of surprises. True to Postmodern Jukebox style, the night will feature everything from ‘70s rock anthems and ‘80s Britpop to modern chart-toppers, all performed with a vintage twist. Movie themes and even video-game soundtracks get the retro treatment too, making the show perfect for music lovers of every generation.

This ever-changing ensemble of singers, dancers and musicians is known for its charisma and showmanship, making every concert feel like a night in a glamorous time machine. It’s joyful, theatrical and irresistibly feel-good — the kind of experience that works just as well for a night out with friends as it does for a family treat.

Speaking about the tour, Bradlee said:

“In the midst of the AI hype all around us, some folks have gone so far as to proclaim that in the not-so-distant future, all of the music that we listen to will be AI generated... we’ll gladly take the other side of that wager. On the 2026 Postmodern Jukebox UK / Europe / Australia / New Zealand tour, we're humbly presenting our own unique vision of a spectacular future; one that is built upon the timeless musical genres of the past and the authentically human spirit of creativity that inspired them.”

Fans are encouraged to dress up in their vintage best — whether that’s 1920s glitz, 1950s swing or 1960s mod — and fully step into the immersive world Postmodern Jukebox create onstage.

When they arrive in Birmingham this May, expect big voices, bold brass, sharp choreography and plenty of sparkling nostalgia. Above all, expect a celebration of live music at its most joyful, theatrical and human.
