The Kinks musical Sunny Afternoon comes to Oxford this February, celebrating a landmark moment in rock history and bringing the sound of the 60s roaring back to life.

Following acclaimed runs in London’s West End, see the story and songs of one of Britain’s most influential rock bands when the Olivier Award-winning show Sunny Afternoon appears at the New Theatre Oxford.

On stage from Tuesday 10th to Saturday 14th February 2026, theatregoers will follow the story of The Kinks — brothers Ray and Dave Davies, drummer Mick Avory, and bassist Pete Quaife — charting their rise and enduring six-decade legacy in rock music.

A vibrant portrait of friendship, fame, and the creative tensions that shaped a generation of rock music, audiences can sing along to era-defining hits including “You Really Got Me,” “All Day and All of the Night,” “Lola” and “Sunny Afternoon.”

The New Theatre Oxford performances mark a unique cultural moment for the city, reconnecting audiences with a pivotal chapter in local and British music history.
