Big Bad Voodoo Daddy live in Newport Beach

Experience Big Bad Voodoo Daddy live on November 19th

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will be performing at The Lido Theater in Newport Beach, California on November 19, 2026. The band is known for its energetic performances and revival of 1940s and 1950s jump blues, swing, and early rock and roll. Their music incorporates horn-driven arrangements, tight vocal harmonies, and a generally upbeat tempo, often drawing comparisons to artists like Louis Jordan and Cab Calloway. They gained significant recognition through their inclusion on the *Swingers* soundtrack in 1996 and have continued to tour and record extensively since.

The Lido Theater originally opened in 1938 as a single-screen movie house. It underwent a significant renovation and reopened in 2013 as a live performance venue while maintaining its art deco architectural style. The theater features a relatively intimate setting with a capacity of approximately 300 seats. It is owned by the city of Newport Beach and operated by Live Nation. The venue hosts a variety of events including concerts, comedy shows, and film screenings, focusing on providing a diverse range of entertainment options for the community. Its historical significance within Newport Beach is noted through preservation efforts during its restoration.
