Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox announces Derbyshire concert where a retro spin will be put on popular songs
Internationally acclaimed music collective Postmodern Jukebox, famed for transforming much-loved songs into dazzling vintage masterpieces, will perform in Derbyshire.
Renowned for their joyous, high-energy live shows, the multi-talented troupe of singers, dancers and instrumentalists will bring a brand new production to Derby’s Vaillant Live on May 27, 2026.
Postmodern Jukebox put a retro spin on everything from Seventies rock classics and Eighties Britpop staples to today’s chart-toppers, movie themes and even video game soundtracks.
Founded in New York by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee in 2011, Postmodern Jukebox began as a series of videos recorded in a small apartment, transforming contemporary pop songs into vintage jazz, swing and soul arrangements. What started as a YouTube sensation has since evolved into a global touring phenomenon, with sold-out shows on six continents and more than a billion online views.
The rotating cast has featured some of the most remarkable vocalists, musicians and performers working today — artists whose charisma, stagecraft and extraordinary musicality have made Postmodern Jukebox shows unlike anything else on the touring circuit. For more than a decade, fans around the world have flocked to these concerts not just for the music, but for the pure theatrical thrill: a meticulously crafted night of escapism, humour, virtuosity, and irresistible fun.
Speaking about the upcoming tour, Scott Bradlee said: "In the midst of the AI hype all around us, some folks have gone so far as to proclaim that in the not-so-distant future, all of the music that we listen to will be AI generated... we’ll gladly take the other side of that wager. On the 2026 Postmodern Jukebox UK/Europe/Australia/New Zealand tour, we're humbly presenting our own unique vision of a spectacular future; one that is built upon the timeless musical genres of the past and the authentically human spirit of creativity that inspired them."
Fans are encouraged to dress in their vintage best and step into the immersive world of Postmodern Jukebox for a night of musical time travel — a feel-good celebration that honours the past, energises the present, and champions a brilliantly human future for music.
