Hotels for Blue — Circuit

Blue — the boyband whose run of number ones soundtracked the early 2000s with 'All Rise', 'One Love' and the Elton John duet 'Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word' — play Kingston upon Thames on Friday 24 July 2026 with TWO intimate shows at Circuit, at 5pm and 7pm, promoted by Banquet Records. Twenty-five years on from their debut, a room this size for a group who filled arenas is the draw: these Banquet events are up-close, early-evening and open to ages 14+, built around fans rather than nostalgia-tour production.

The same Friday night Banquet also has shows at St John's Church and The Fighting Cocks — it's the busiest gig-promoting record shop in the country operating at full tilt. Circuit is in Kingston town centre, half an hour by train from London Waterloo; stay over and you can make a full Kingston weekend of the riverside, Hampton Court up the line, and the shop itself on Saturday morning.
