Michael Starring Ben 2026 TOUR and 2027 TOUR

Friday, October 16, 2026 - Barbican, York

York Barbican presents Michael Starring Ben on 16 October 2026, the night after Sheffield City Hall. This show extends the Yorkshire run of the Michael Jackson tribute before the tour crosses into the Midlands for Valiant Live Derby and then heads to Hull Convex Live. As a modern multi-use venue, York Barbican suits the production’s lighting, visuals and band layout, which have been scaled from theatres to larger arenas like M&S Bank Arena Liverpool. Here, Jackson’s songs are performed in a setting that straddles concert hall and arena, linking northern civic dates across the route.
