20 years of The Kooks' Inside In / Inside Out and to celebrate, London had to be extra special. On July 31st the era-defining Indie band will perform at London's iconic Old Royal Naval College, UNESCO World Heritage Site - a unique chance to experience their anthemic live show in the grounds of one of the capital’s most spectacular settings. 

Imagine singing the timeless "Naive", "Seaside", "Ohh La" & "She Moves In Her Own Way" framed by the River Thames and London’s skyline. This will be pure magic. Luke Pritchard from The Kooks - "The Old Royal Naval College gig is going to be something else. I spent half my childhood running around Greenwich - my mum’s shop was literally a stone’s throw away. 
Those buildings, that riverside, it’s all tied up with my earliest memories of music and discovering who I wanted to be. To bring The Kooks back there now, to play in front of those iconic buildings where I used to daydream about being in a band feels surreal. 

See you there, can’t wait" Joining The Kooks are Britain's legendary Circa Waves, known for their nervy, melodic indie rock. We can't wait to hear "T-Shirt Weather" on the Thames! This date comes off the back of a sold out O2 Arena show for The Kooks and tickets will be in huge demand, for this 20 year celebration. 

Pre-sale tickets go live Feb 6th at 12pm GMT, exclusively to those who sign up. Sign up is essential on the following link

Description

The Old Royal Naval College stands as a national asset, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that transcends its historical origins to serve as a vibrant cultural destination and significant event hub for London and beyond. Managed by a dedicated charity, it consistently delivers a diverse programme of public engagement, cementing its role as a cornerstone of Greenwich's cultural landscape.

Within its magnificent Baroque structures, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, a palpable sense of history pervades. The cool air within the Painted Hall carries a subtle scent of aged wood and polish, inviting contemplation of the intricate artistry overhead. The grandeur of the Chapel of St Peter and St Paul offers a serene counterpoint, its neoclassical interiors inspiring quiet reflection.

Beyond the architectural marvels, the extensive riverside grounds provide ample space for public enjoyment and relaxation. The venue prioritises accessibility, offering lifts and accessible facilities, alongside complimentary entry for companions, ensuring a welcoming experience for all visitors. On-site dining options, including the Undercroft Café, provide convenient refreshments.

Throughout the year, the College hosts a dynamic array of events, from classical concerts and thought-provoking exhibitions to open-air film screenings and wellness retreats. Historical re-enactments bring the past to life, while family-focused activities and community gatherings ensure its continued relevance as a lively public space.
