FOLLOWING a phenomenal two years in the West End and a sensational first UK and Ireland tour, the “indisputably terrific” (The Times) Oliver Award-Winning Best New Musical, charting the euphoric highs and agonizing lows of The Kinks, is back!
With a stop at Swansea Building Society Arena between Tuesday 2nd – Saturday 6th December 2025, ‘Sunny Afternoon’ celebrates the raw energy, passion, and timeless sound of one of Britain’s most iconic bands, telling their story through an incredible back catalogue of chart-toppers, including “You Really Got Me,” “Lola,” and “All Day and All of the Night.”
Set against the backdrop of Britain on the cusp of the rebellious ’60s, ‘Sunny Afternoon’ is an “exhilarating” (Financial Times) and moving celebration of the music, life, and the band that changed it all.
Sunny Afternoon features music and lyrics by the legendary Ray Davies, a book by Joe Penhall, original story by Ray Davies, and direction by Edward Hall.
