Arron Peters from STX Events is bringing a summer of live music to The Carnegie, with a line-up of tribute acts set to give Thetford its own big nights out closer to home.
For a long time, music lovers in Thetford have had to look towards Norwich or Cambridge for a big night out. This year, though, local resident Arron Peters is changing the tune. With a mission to give Thetford a reputation as a hub for live entertainment, Arron has curated a summer of shows at The Carnegie that promises to bring the community together through the power of tributes.
Arron has secured four heavy-hitting performances covering a wide spectrum of musical nostalgia, starting this summer with:
• Special Kinda Madness (2nd May) – a dual tribute capturing the energy of both The Specials and Madness.
• Wrong Jovi (19th June) – widely regarded as one of the best Bon Jovi tribute acts in the world, bringing stadium-sized rock to Thetford.
• Ultimate RnB (27th June) – a trip back to the 90s and 00s, featuring the smooth grooves and dancefloor anthems of the “old school” era.
• Pretendulum (8th August) – a high-energy tribute to Pendulum, celebrating the DnB legends with a dose of heavy bass.
“Thetford has a fantastic community spirit,” said Arron. “We deserve quality live music right here in our own backyard, without the need for a long and expensive commute.”
By focusing on what he calls “the gold standard” of tribute acts, Arron hopes these summer nights will feel like the real deal. Whether you’re a ska fan, a rock enthusiast, or an RnB devotee, the message is clear: Thetford is the place to be this summer.
With tickets already selling quickly, the town is buzzing with excitement. It’s a bold move for a local promoter, but if the early response is anything to go by, this summer could be one to remember for music fans. Find links to buy tickets at www.facebook.com/stxevents or click the poster below!
