Postmodern Jukebox, the musical collective known for re-imagining modern hits through the lens of vintage genres, has announced an exhilarating 20-city tour across the UK as part of their 2026 The Future is Vintage World Tour.
Among the tour’s anticipated highlights is a one-night-only performance at the Bournemouth Pavilion, where the group will debut an entirely new production crafted in their signature time-twisting style.
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 over 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.
Audiences at Bournemouth Pavilion can expect an unforgettable night that blends the glamour of the past with the energy of today. The new show promises dazzling arrangements that transform everything from ’70s rock anthems and ’80s Britpop favourites to contemporary chart-toppers, movie themes, and even video-game soundtracks.
“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,” says Postmodern Jukebox founder and arranger Scott Bradlee. “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.”
Concertgoers are encouraged to dress in their vintage best to fully immerse themselves in the group’s hallmark “musical time machine” experience when Postmodern Jukebox brings its world-renowned spectacle to Bournemouth Pavilion.
The future may be unpredictable - but with Postmodern Jukebox, it’s guaranteed to swing.
