Summer Concerts 2025
Highlights
Yacht Brothers
The Yacht Brothers, a premier soft rock band founded by brothers Jaz and Cody Moss, featuring an all-star lineup of London’s finest musicians. When you see The Yacht Brothers live, you're not just attending a concert—you're embarking on a nostalgic voyage through the smooth, soulful sounds of the late '70s and early '80s.
Collectively, the brothers have shared stages with legends like Brian May, John Oates, Jason Scheff, Ronnie Wood, Jeff ‘Skunk’ Baxter, Van Morrison and James Burton, honing their skills on the world’s biggest stages.
Get ready to sail for an unforgettable evening as this dynamic 9-piece band revives the smooth, soulful sounds of the '70s and '80s soft rock, including hits from Michael McDonald, Toto, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, George Benson and The Doobie Brothers.
With their infectious energy and backed by an all-star 9-piece band of London’s finest musicians, these brothers will take you on a smooth sailing journey through the biggest hits of yacht rock’s golden era.
For those unfamiliar, Yacht rock is the smooth, feel-good soft rock that ruled FM radio in the late '70s and early '80s. Known for its glossy production, breezy vocals, and laid-back rhythms, it blends jazz, R&B, and rock into mellow tunes perfect for a sun-soaked cruise, evoking the vibe of sipping champagne on a yacht in Southern California, or a private island on the river Thames.
Don't miss out on this special night—tickets are set to fly faster than a breeze on the open sea, so grab yours up before they’re gone!
