Two dates, 19 September 2026 and 26 June 2027, bring a live tribute to Michael Jackson, titled Michael Starring Ben, to the Bournemouth Pavilion. Fronted by Ben Bowman, the show celebrates the King of Pop's music and stagecraft at one of the town's best-loved seafront venues.
Inside the tribute
Dancing and showmanship join Michael Jackson's best-known hits in this production, with Ben Bowman adopting the songs and style that made Jackson one of the world's most recognisable performers. Closer to each date, the venue confirms the full running order, so a look at the Pavilion's official listing pays off for the latest information.
Reaching the Pavilion
A short walk from the pier, beach and town centre, above the Lower Gardens, stands the Pavilion, one of Bournemouth's well-loved art deco buildings, with plentiful nearby choices for a meal or drink first. Ticket bookings run through the venue's official listing, which also lists the most current times and prices.
