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.
