About this event

Experience an unforgettable evening of soul, nostalgia, and timeless classics as Kennie Simon celebrates 16 years as the lead singer of Hot Chocolate.

Audiences will enjoy iconic hits including ‘You Sexy Thing’, ‘Every 1’s a Winner’, ‘Emma’, and ‘It Started with a Kiss’. Kennie’s remarkable journey began in Hampstead, London, and included studio work at Abbey Road before a life-changing invitation to perform with Hot Chocolate in Düsseldorf.

The show’s success led the band to ask him to become their new frontman — a role he has proudly held ever since. Over the past 16 years, Kennie has toured worldwide, performing to sold-out audiences across Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and beyond. His passion for music remains as strong as ever. More than a concert, 16 Years of Hits with Hot Chocolate is a celebration of one of Britain’s most beloved soul bands, featuring powerhouse vocals, great stories, and unforgettable songs.
