Tickets for the return of 'Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story' at The Grand Theatre go on sale today.
The show is set to run at the Blackpool theatre from February 3 to February 7, 2026, and will open on 'The Day The Music Died.'
'Loved by critics and audiences alike', Buddy tells the story of the musical icon’s rise from his 'Southern rockabilly beginnings to international stardom'.
The West End show will feature over 20 of Buddy Holly’s biggest hits, including That’ll Be The Day, Oh Boy, Everyday and Rave On.
Other songs featured in the show are the Big Bopper’s Chantilly Lace, Ritchie Valens’ La Bamba, and versions of Shout, Johnny B. Goode and more.
Alan Janes, writer and executive producer, said: "It really is incredible, over 35 years since we first opened, the show is back still spreading joy to every corner of the country.
"This is testament to a wonderful, extremely talented cast and some of the finest Rock & Roll tunes ever written by the one and only Buddy Holly."
The show has been seen by over 22 million theatregoers since it first opened in London’s West End in 1989.
It is 'one of the longest-running shows in London theatre history', and people are being encouraged to book early for the show at The Grand Theatre to 'avoid disappointment.'
3,338 pairs of trousers have been used and replaced, due to Buddy's knee sliding across stages throughout the world, and 434 pairs of glasses.
Tickets start from £15 and go on sale on today, Monday, February 3, 2025.
The show will run from Tuesday, February 3, to Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 7.30pm, with a Thursday matinee at 2pm and a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
