Charles Hibberd
About this event
Charles Hibberd is bringing his distinctive solo sound to Rita's this season. The Hull-based frontman of international party band Copper Tones strips back to acoustic guitar, octave bass effects, and live cajon foot percussion to create a rhythm-driven performance that fills the room with genuine full-band energy. Expect an eclectic set spanning Indie, Pop-Punk, and Alternative anthems from the 60s through to the 2010s—think The 1975, Panic! At The Disco, The Killers, and Third Eye Blind played with Saturday night conviction.
With a background headlining major festivals like Y Not and Tramlines, Charles eschews the sleepy pub singer routine in favour of genuinely engaging, high-energy performances. This is the "cool" side of the repertoire delivered with the kind of festival edge that transforms an ordinary night out into something memorable. Perfect for venues and crowds after something refreshingly different from the standard covers circuit.
Catch Charles Hibberd at Rita's Beer Hall and Ballroom on Woodhouse Lane, Leeds, for an alternative night that combines craft beer atmosphere with serious musical credibility.
