Big Hits, Big Voices, Big Nights – How Much Fun is a Tribute Weekend Break?

Sometimes, on a Caledonian Travel break, it’s not unusual to find that you can’t help falling in love with the evening entertainment we’re so well-known for. Our Tribute Act Weekends have become firm favourites among guests, offering that perfect mix of music, laughter and nostalgia. Whether you're joining us with friends, a partner or as a huge group, these weekends have a way of bringing everyone together.

Tribute Act weekends are filled with great songs and big performances, where audiences sing along, dance, and share stories about seeing the real stars back in the day. The atmosphere is relaxed, fun and always friendly, and you can sit back with a drink, or be the first up when the opening chords of a familiar tune fill the room!

With an ever-changing line-up of talented performers, our tribute breaks are all about feel-good moments. Maybe you'll see them in Blackpool, Scarborough, Torquay...or somewhere else! Wherever you want to go, here’s a look at some of the acts who keep our guests singing, smiling, and staying on the dance floor until the very last song...

Killer Tribute to Queen

There’s always something really special about a Queen UK performance. From the very first moment 'Freddie' takes the mic, it’s clear this act has real passion for the music. Dean Richardson takes on Mercury’s unmistakable vocals with confidence and respect, and every moment feels like powerful admiration rather than imitation. You really get into the show, and it’s about the songs we all know and the memories they carry.

When the opening piano line of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ begins, the room falls quiet. Minutes later, people are clapping, singing and laughing together. The same goes for ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, which gets everyone moving, and ‘We Are the Champions’, which somehow feels emotional even after all these years. Each hit is delivered with the energy and power that made Queen’s music legendary.

With a nod to all the best Queen albums, the show captures that unmistakable mix of rock, theatre and entertainment that made the band so important. By the end of the set, the audience are still buzzing – not ready to sit down just yet!

A-ha! It's ABBA

Few tribute acts lift a room quite like ABBA Encore! From the moment they super-troupe onto the stage, the party atmosphere takes over everything. The show is bright, glittering and full of life.

With harmonies that bring back the magic of Agnetha and Frida, their stage presence makes it all feel effortless. Every performance has that same combination of fun and familiarity that makes ABBA’s music so memorable.

As soon as ‘Dancing Queen’ starts, it’s hard to stay seated. ‘Mamma Mia’ guarantees smiles all around, and ‘Waterloo’ always feels like the perfect sing-a-long tune that you won't be able to help but join in with. The setlist is packed with well-known favourites, but it’s never just a copy. There’s something fresh and genuine about how these songs are performed, and that's why they're a Caledonian Travel customer favourite - people book to see them time and again.

What a Feeling Lionel Richie Brings

Hello! Tribute act Endless Lionel has that smooth and soulful voice that captures all Lionel Richie’s tones and tempo perfectly. Each song flows into the next, and you see people mouthing the words long before the chorus arrives. In parts it’s a relaxed, easy-going show...and others, you feel the need to get on your feet!

‘All Night Long’ always fills the dance floor early on. Then come the slower, heartfelt moments like ‘Easy’, followed by the feel-good groove of ‘Dancing on the Ceiling’. Every track brings a reaction – a smile here, a sing-along there – and the mix of tempo and emotion makes it all feel complete.

It’s the kind of set that leaves people swaying in their seats one minute and up dancing the next, all while quietly thinking: “That was something special.”

Shaking Your Hips to Elvis Presley

Elvis Reborn isn’t just a tribute – it’s a journey through the life and sound of The King. From the very first song, the performer brings charisma, charm and a voice that instantly transports you back. There’s a sense of showmanship that feels authentic, and the audience feeds off it, clapping along and joining in without hesitation.

Each era of Elvis’s career gets its moment. ‘Jailhouse Rock’ still has that early rock ’n’ roll spark, while ‘Suspicious Minds’ brings power and soul in equal measure. When the lights dip for ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’, there’s a moment of real connection between performer and crowd – a shared appreciation for a song that means something to almost everyone.

The show promises there's a little less conversation, and a little more action in the room...reminding people Elvis' music still stands tall today. By the end, there’s only one conclusion: nobody leaves weekend tribute breaks like these without a smile.

Tennessee Tribute to Dolly Parton

When Hello Dolly steps on stage, it feels instantly personal. There’s warmth in her voice and sparkle in every word she sings. She has that same laugh and charm that Dolly Parton is known for, and the crowd responds straight away. It’s friendly, funny, and filled with great songs that never lose their shine.

You'll know more songs than you realise, too! ‘Jolene’ brings the first sing-along, while ‘9 to 5’ turns the night into a party. Later, ‘Islands in the Stream’ provides one of those lovely moments where couples hold hands, friends link arms, and the whole room sways together. It’s everything people want from a Dolly show: heartfelt lyrics, humour and good fun.

A real performance that captures the stories, the emotions and the happiness that define Dolly Parton. Every time she’s on a Caledonian Travel Tribute Break, guests talk about it long after they’re home.

Can't Stop This Thing Bryan Adams Started

Bein’ Adams brings his first real six-string and a ton of energy from his first guitar chord to the last. There’s no overthinking or gimmicks – just a performer who loves Bryan Adams' songs and knows exactly how to deliver them. His gritty voice and stage presence make the show feel like a proper rock gig, and the crowd always responds in kind.

‘Run to You’ could kick things off, followed by ‘Everything I Do (I Do It For You)’, which hits all the right notes emotionally. Then comes the anthem everyone’s waiting for: ‘Summer of ’69’. The cheers, the clapping, the shouting along – it’s everything you’d expect from a Bryan Adams classic, and it’s done with real affection for the original.

Drawing from the energy of records like Reckless, Bein’ Adams blends a bit of nostalgia with a lot of authenticity. It’s music that never gets old, and his performance reminds you why those songs still fill arenas and, on nights like these, hotel dance floors too!

The Voice: Tom Jones

Jed Fry’s take on Tom Jones is pure entertainment. He doesn’t just sound the part – he carries that same look, confidence and charisma that makes every audience feel involved. There’s humour between the songs, charm in the delivery, and a genuine love for the music that shines through every number.

He gives the audience a strong setlist, with hits such as ‘It’s Not Unusual’, ‘Delilah’ (which has everyone belting out the chorus!) while ‘Sex Bomb’ offers a playful side to the night that keeps the atmosphere light and fun. It’s impossible not to get caught up in it all!

The show feels modern while staying true to the Tom Jones classics. By the final song, there’s laughter, applause and the sense that everyone’s had a proper night out, the Welsh way!
