Rock'n'roll show brings raw energy and legendary songs to Eastbourne stage

Rock'n'roll show at Eastbourne Hippodrome Theatre

The smash hit Be Bop A Lula comes to town this month starring five giants of rock'n'roll '“ Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Billy Fury, Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison.

The show is like going to a rock’n’roll concert but with the stars of the night being legendary performers of modern music history.

In 1960 American rockers Eddie and Gene flew in from the U.S. and were joined by British heartthrob Billy Fury for the UK’s very first multi-artist rock’n’roll tour. Reviewers were appalled by their on-stage antics, but audiences screamed their approval, and British youth culture was born.
