Got the blues? Well, step right up, because The Jive Aces are bringing their "Feelin’ Happy" Tour to town, and it’s gonna flip your frown upside down! When these cats burst onto the stage in their signature yellow suits, you’ll be tapping your feet and grinning like a fool before you know it. This ain’t just a show it’s a proper good time that’ll leave you buzzing with joy.

For 30 years they've have been taking their infectious tunes to over 40 countries and continuously proving why they are the UKs No.1 jive and swing band. They effortlessly transition from smooth-as-butter ballads to rip-roaring rhythm & blues, with a nod to the raw, foot-stomping roots of rock n roll. They’ve played for the Queen, packed out the Royal Albert Hall, and made history as the first band to get to the Britain’s Got Talent finals. With 250 gigs a year, they’ve got a knack for turning any crowd into a dancing, cheering frenzy.

These guys and gals are the real deal. They’ve shared stages with legends like Van Morrison, John Travolta, and Priscilla Presley, Jamie Cullum, Toto and Status Quo, and nabbed awards like the City of Derry International Music Award and the Variety Club of Great Britain Award for their music and charity work. Their music videos? So sharp they’ve won film festival prizes. But what makes The Jive Aces special is how they make you feel like you’re right in the heart of the party.

Don’t miss the "Feelin’ Happy" Tour! Grab your dancing shoes and get ready for a night of swing, jive, and pure, unfiltered entertainment that’ll send you home with more uplifted than a Beverly Hills trophy wife. Snag your tickets now for a show that’ll keep you smiling for days.
