Rock legends Bon Jovi and comedian Russell Brand join a galaxy of stars from the world of entertainment to light up the 79th Royal Variety Performance. This year, Liverpool, the birthplace of many of Britain’s greatest entertainers, has been chosen as the host venue. It’s the year in which the city celebrates its 800th birthday and in January will become the European Capital of Culture.
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, one of the greatest operatic stars of our time, jets in to give a one night only performance.
Also appearing on the Royal Variety Performance are Britain’s Got Talent winner, and now international chart-topper, Paul Potts; singer songwriter James Blunt; pop singer and heart-throb Enrique Iglesias; American comedienne Joan Rivers; singer Seal, mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins and ballet dancer Darcey Bussell, Jimmy Tarbuck and Liverpool choir Sense of Sound.
And direct from London’s West End, the cast of the hit musical Hairspray will be performing an extra special extract from the show.
Taking centre stage and presenting the Royal Variety Performance for ITV1 will be two of Britain’s top television personalities, Phillip Schofield and Kate Thornton.
Phillip Schofield says: “As a huge fan of the Royal Variety Performance I’m very excited to be presenting the show this year alongside Kate Thornton. There is no other show that boasts such a diverse mix of acts and this year will be no exception.”
Kate Thornton added: ““It’s an amazing opportunity to be presenting this year’s Royal Variety Performance with Phillip Schofield. It’s a British institution that unites some of the biggest acts in the world for one night only and I am honoured to be presenting one of Britain’s biggest shows.
