Nashville Nights country tribute show heads to Newport’s Apollo Theatre after a sold-out West End run

A touring Nashville-themed concert night is set for an Isle of Wight stop

A Nashville-branded country music tribute evening is scheduled to reach the Isle of Wight in February 2026, following what organizers describe as a sold-out run in London’s West End. The event, titled “Nashville Nights,” is booked for Saturday, February 21 at the Apollo Theatre on Pyle Street in Newport.

The show is being promoted as a live, musician-led celebration of country music, built around performance rather than staging on the scale of a full theatrical production. The night is also tied to a charitable fundraising goal, with proceeds directed in support of Age UK.

Lineup centers on three performers with touring backgrounds

The billed headliners are Steve Young, Savannah Gardner and Jade Cuthbert. Young, described in event materials as a former Isle of Wight resident, is positioned as the anchor of the touring lineup. Promotional information highlights his prior appearances at major venues including the Sydney Opera House and London’s Royal Albert Hall, alongside tour activity across the United Kingdom, United States and Australia.

Gardner is described as having been recognized through an American Music Association “best new act” nomination, while Cuthbert is presented as the show’s fiddle player. Together, the trio is advertised as delivering a Nashville-inspired sound and setlist that aligns with the tribute format, rather than focusing on original material.

Support act and scheduling details

Angelina Grimshaw is listed as the support act for the Newport date, completing the bill for the evening. The Apollo Theatre performance is scheduled for February 21, 2026, placing it in the middle of the winter touring season when UK venues often increase programming of indoor live music events.

How the Isle of Wight date fits into the show’s wider context

The Newport booking is being framed as an extension of a London engagement that was reported as sold out, signaling demand for country tribute programming beyond the capital. While the term “Nashville” is often used broadly in UK live promotions, the presented format here points to a curated selection of recognizable country repertoire performed by a small ensemble, with a focus on musicianship and familiar stylistic markers such as fiddle-led arrangements.

The February 21 performance is being staged as both an entertainment event and a charity fundraiser, connecting the touring production to a local philanthropic outcome.

Additional details on repertoire, running order and fundraising mechanics have not been publicly itemized in the event description, but the booking confirms the Isle of Wight as a stop on a tour seeking to translate Nashville’s country identity into a UK theatre setting.
