Rod is set to play Southend’s Cliffs Pavilion in a special one-off performance.
He will use the stripped back, close-up show on April 30 as a warm-up for his UK tour which kicks off next month.
It will also give fans a chance to experience a behind the scenes look at the process of creating a touring show and the audience will be welcome to give their feedback during the very exclusive opportunity.
The fully seated tour is being promoted by Cuffe and Taylor, whose director Peter Taylor said: “We work with Cliffs Pavilion on a number of different touring shows so we are delighted they are able to host this exclusive warm up show for Rod’s tour.
“Fans are going to be in for a real treat as they get to see this very stripped back performance where Rod and his band will be finalising their tour setlist, working on what fits where and maybe even asking the audience for their input.
“This will be a fantastic night ahead of what is set to be an amazing tour and we can’t wait to see Rod get Southend rocking!
“He will then travel the length and breadth of the UK and across Europe performing to hundreds of thousands of people in what will be a formidable tour for 2019.”
