The Internationally acclaimed John Lennon performer Tyson Kelly is bringing his 2026 UK tour to Ilkley next month.
Renowned for his portrayal of John Lennon in ‘Let It Be’ on Broadway and performing as Lennon with the celebrated Beatles Tribute act ‘The Bootleg Beatles’ for seven years, Tyson's uncanny look and sound-a-like embodies Lennon’s voice, presence and artistry with remarkable authenticity.
In Imagine Lennon, at the King's Hall in Ilkley on 9 April, Tyson is backed by a five-piece powerhouse band as he takes audiences on a journey through the brilliant music of Lennon, performing hits from Lennon’s catalogue and a carefully selected collection of B side favourites fans will love to hear.
A gifted musician with a longstanding background in drama and musical theatre, Tyson’s performance is deeply personal, shaped by a lifelong passion for The Beatles and a deep connection to Lennon and his songwriting.
Imagine Lennon is a captivating homage to one of music’s most enduring icons, making it a must-see event for all John Lennon and Beatles fans.
