In honor ot the Oasis reunion (definitely… maybe) Brit-Night is a high-octane celebration of the UK’s most iconic musical legends.

The explosive Red Stars band—led by the powerhouse vocals of Grace and Kat—tears through a killer setlist, blending rock, pop, soul, and Britpop anthems into one unforgettable show.

Crank up the nostalgia with sing-along classics from Queen, The Beatles, Adele, and Coldplay, pulse-pounding hits the Spice Girls, and brooding alt-rock anthems from Radiohead and The Cure.

Whether you’re here to scream Bohemian Rhapsody, swoon to Someone Like You, or lose it to Wonderwall, this is the ultimate British music showdown.
