About Nik Kershaw
The small but perfectly formed Nik Kershaw and his fabulous band are playing an intimate festival warm-up show at the O2 Academy in Oxford on Friday, 28 June.
There will be a distinct lack of dance moves, lasers, pyrotechnics, Jazz hands or anything remotely to do with “show business”. Very little sartorial effort will be made (minimal sequins or spandex).
Just expect a great band playing great songs, up close and personal; you know the ones – “Wouldn’t It Be Good”, “The Riddle”, “I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”, “Dancing Girls”, “Wide Boy”, “Human Racing”, and “Don Quixote”, to highlights from Nik’s nine studio albums and his career as a songwriter. Maybe even the odd cheeky cover version. Who knows?
It might get sweaty!
Don’t miss this rare chance to see the man once described by Elton John as “the best songwriter of his generation” (disclaimer – Elton may have been off his tits when he said it).
Nik Kershaw is also playing the Roadmender in Northampton on Friday, 12 July.

About O2 Academy Oxford
The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.
Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.
