“‘Rocketman’ is brimming with this kind of invention, each song (all stone-cold classics, of course) spiced with eye-popping visual and emotional embellishments [...] On paper it reads like a by-the-book biopic; on screen it explodes with the kind of colour and energy that only Elton John himself could invoke”
DOORS: 16:00 | FILM STARTS 16:45
We’re excited to be returning to the Loco Klub in October to pay homage to two classic rock biopics! This stunning events space beneath Temple Meads will play host to a subterranean cinema experience as we turn it up to 11 and head back to the 70s to celebrate two of the most flamboyant entertainers in music history. Join us in the private bar and enjoy live performers pre-film, then delve deeper still into the tunnels for the main show…
As Elton John’s farewell tour comes to a triumphant close this year, we’ll be screening his Oscar-winning biopic Rocketman for our first film - Taron Egerton shines in a high-energy and sometimes hard-hitting performance that garnered well-deserved critical acclaim.
