🎸✨ PRIORITY TICKETS – TIER 2 NOW ON SALE! ✨🎸

As we celebrate the Greatest Hits of Sunshine, we’re thrilled to be bringing some truly incredible acts back to the stage over the months ahead — artists and shows that have already created unforgettable memories at Sunshine & Mello! 🌟

👑🎸 NEXT UP… PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO THE STAGE… CHESNEY HAWKES! 🎸👑

🔥 LIVE ON THE MAIN STAGE! 🔥

Get ready to turn back the clock and sing along to one of the most recognisable voices and biggest feel-good anthems of the 90s!

⭐ CHESNEY HAWKES ⭐ shot to superstardom in 1991 with the unforgettable “The One and Only” — a song that became a true generation-defining classic, spending an incredible 5 weeks at Number 1 in the UK charts!
And it doesn’t stop there! 🎶 Chesney will bring plenty of nostalgia and singalong favourites from across his career, including:

🎤 The One and Only
🎤 I'm a Man Not a Boy
🎤 Secrets of the Heart
🎤 What's Wrong with This Picture?
🎤 Another Fine Mess
🎤 Nothing Serious
🎤 Every Little Tear
🎤 Sometimes

From the soundtrack of Buddy’s Song to the huge chart success of The One and Only, Chesney has continued to write, record and perform throughout the years — with his more recent music showing that there is so much more to this talented singer-songwriter than one iconic hit.

And let's be honest… when those opening notes of THE ONE AND ONLY ring out across the Sunshine & Mello main stage, we already know the whole place is going to be singing! 🙌🎸🎶

💥 ONE OF THE BIGGEST SINGALONG ANTHEMS OF THE 90s
💥 ONE INCREDIBLE LIVE PERFORMANCE
💥 ONE VERY SPECIAL NIGHT AT SUNSHINE & MELLO!

🎟️ PRIORITY TICKETS – TIER 2 ARE ON SALE NOW!

If you were there last time, you know exactly why you need to be back. If you missed him… this is your chance!

🌟 Sunshine & Mello – Greatest Hits 🌟
🎸 Chesney Hawkes – Live Main Stage 🎸

Who’s going to be singing “The One and Only” at the top of their lungs with us?!
