Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox Brings The Future Is Vintage World Tour to the Lexington Opera House on Tuesday, October 6, 2026
LEXINGTON, KY (May 5, 2026) –– Postmodern Jukebox, the internationally acclaimed music collective famed for their signature time-twisting style, transforming some of our most loved songs into dazzling vintage masterpieces, has announced a brand-new 56-date trek titled The Future is Vintage Tour. The tour will stop at the Lexington Opera House on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
Renowned for their joyous, high-energy live shows, the multi-talented troupe of singers, dancers, and instrumentalists will bring a brand-new production to stages across the country — putting a retro spin on everything from ’70s rock classics and ’80s Britpop staples to today’s chart-toppers, movie themes, and even video-game soundtracks. Packed with dance-ready numbers and jaw-dropping showstoppers, it’s a show that works just as well for a big night out as it does for the perfect family outing.
Founded in New York by pianist and arranger Scott Bradlee in 2011, Postmodern Jukebox began as a series of videos recorded in a small apartment, transforming contemporary pop songs into vintage jazz, swing, and soul arrangements. What started as a YouTube sensation has since evolved into a global touring phenomenon, with sold-out shows on six continents and over a billion online views.
The rotating cast has featured some of the most remarkable vocalists, musicians, and performers working today — artists whose charisma, stagecraft, and extraordinary musicality have made Postmodern Jukebox shows unlike anything else on the touring circuit. For more than a decade, fans around the world have flocked to these concerts not just for the music, but for the pure theatrical thrill: a meticulously crafted night of escapism, humor, virtuosity, and irresistible fun.
Speaking about the upcoming tour, Bradlee said:
"In the midst of the AI hype all around us, some folks have gone so far as to proclaim that in the not-so-distant future, all of the music that we listen to will be AI-generated... we’ll gladly take the other side of that wager. On the 2026 Postmodern Jukebox North American tour, we're humbly presenting our own unique vision of a spectacular future; one that is built upon the timeless musical genres of the past and the authentically human spirit of creativity that inspired them."
Fans are encouraged to dress in their vintage best and step into the immersive world of Postmodern Jukebox for a night of musical time travel — a feel-good celebration that honors the past, energizes the present, and champions a brilliantly human future for music.
Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 A.M. on Friday, May 8, at ticketmaster.com, lexingtonoperahouse.com, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.
