Event Details
Date 7 Jun 2025
Times 7.30pm
Location The Beacon – Bowling Park
Ages 18+

The world’s foremost post-punk-falsetto-squeezebox-gypsy-cabaret trio make a very rare trip to Bradford for a one-off show at the Beacon.

The Tiger Lillies have been a fixture in the British musical underground for more than 30 years – Olivier Award-winners for the (in)famous Shockheaded Peter, Grammy nominees and much more besides.

Recently heard on the soundtrack to Johnny Depp’s film Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness, they’re as popular as ever – and Bowling Park has surely never seen anything like them before. Book early or miss out…

“One of the most unique and subversive acts in contemporary performance” – New York Times

“An extraordinary fusion of styles and sounds, creating a world both grotesque and beautiful” – Time Out
