Sun Records the Concert

BRAND NEW SHOW FOR 2026!

Where Rock'n'Roll Was Born - the Official Sun Records Concert Show

Sam Phillips opened his Memphis Recording Service studio on January 3, 1950 at 706 Union Avenue in Memphis and in March 1951 where Phillips produced "Rocket 88" by an outfit he named himself. They were Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats (who were actually Ike Turner and his Kings of Rhythm).

The success of "Rocket 88" helped Sam Phillips fund the creation of Sun Records in February 1952. The decades that followed showed those three rooms at 706 Union Avenue, Memphis to be Where Rock’n’Roll Was Born!

2026 sees the show revisiting the blessed recording studio and the legendary record label that brought you Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins, Rufus Thomas and scores more rockin' pioneers, as they once again come to life live on stage…..with some ‘brand new’ classic songs from the amazing catalogue from Sun Records.

The distinctive sound we know and love today was crafted from gospel, blues, hillbilly, country, boogie and western swing by musical visionary Sam Phillips. From his trailblazing Memphis studio, Sam Phillips brought us That's Alright Mama, Great Balls of Fire, I Walk the Line, Whole Lotta Shakin', Bear Cat, Blue Suede Shoes, Good Rockin' Tonight. . . among hundreds of hits that would influence the world of music for generations to come. Sam transcended musical and racial barriers and under his guidance, the 'Sun Sound' was born.

Featuring musical instruments of the era, starring a multi-talented cast of singers and a supporting cast of amazing musicians, the sound of Sun is brought to life live on stage in the official concert show that takes you back to the birthplace of rock'n'roll.

Supported and endorsed by The Sun Entertainment Corporation, USA - long live rock'n'roll. . . long live Sun!
