OMD, LULU AND STARSAILOR CONFIRMED FOR JOY. CONCERTS’ NHS MY MUSIC SHOWS
JOY. Concerts have announced the return of its NHS My Music series for 2026 with headline shows from Lulu, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and Starsailor with more to be announced. The series brings major live shows to venues across Sussex while raising funds to support local NHS services.
Lulu, one of the UK’s most precious pop icons, will perform a stunning setlist of her greatest hits at the Brighton Dome on 15th October. A Eurovision winner, Bond theme singer (The Man With The Golden Gun), the voice behind ‘To Sir With Love’ (the biggest selling record of 1967 in the US) and a UK number one with Take That’s ‘Relight My Fire’, this show promises to be a celebration of the Scottish singer’s glittering career.
Also announced are electronic synthesiser pioneers OMD who will perform at the Brighton Centre on 28th June and Starsailor (With Strings), who celebrate the 25th Anniversary of ‘Love Is Here’ at De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on 3rd October.
The NHS My Music series launched in 2025 with performances from Spiritualized, Lightning Seeds, Circa Waves and Skindred at Worthing Assembly Hall, marking the beginning of a long-term collaboration between JOY. and My Charity University Hospitals Sussex.
As with the inaugural series, 100% of profi ts from ticket sales and merchandise will support NHS projects across the seven hospitals of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust directly benefiting patient care, staff wellbeing and hospital environments across the local community.
Giles Witcomb, Head of Fundraising and Comms elaborates, “Every penny raised enables us to go far beyond the vital services provided by the NHS. Raising funds to support patients through every stage of life, from life-saving feeding pumps for our smallest patients to advanced technology for breast cancer outcomes, and state of the art equipment for cardiac support fuels the research and innovation that Sussex relies on.”
Thom Milner-Smith, Promoter at JOY. Concerts said: “We see NHS My Music as a sustainable long-term partnership. Expanding into more Sussex towns & cities allows us to build on the foundation established in Sussex while retaining the core model of delivering commercially viable shows that generate charitable impact.”
Stuart Reynolds, Charity Director of My UHSussex added, “NHS My Music is a concert series featuring internationally renowned and upcoming artists, bringing the excitement and vitality of music together with the passion that so many people share for the NHS. This exciting innovation allows music lovers to have a great time whilst supporting their local NHS Hospitals.”
Further 2026 announcements will follow soon.
