Michael Starring Ben brings a live tribute to Michael Jackson to the Bournemouth Pavilion, with performances on 19 September 2026 and 26 June 2027. Fronted by Ben Bowman, it’s a celebration of the King of Pop’s music and stagecraft at one of the town’s best-loved seafront venues.
What to expect
The show gathers Michael Jackson’s best-known hits and the dancing and showmanship that went with them, with Ben Bowman taking on the songs and style that made Jackson one of the most recognisable performers in the world. The full running order is confirmed by the venue closer to each date, so it’s worth checking the Pavilion’s official listing for the latest information.
