After her sold-out 2024 tour, Jamaican-born, Ireland-raised Rebecca O'Connor will embark on a world tour in 2025, and has been invited to perform in Hungary. Simply The Best is more than a tribute show, it is a fitting tribute to the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, Tina Turner. It's a celebration that combines nostalgia with vibrant energy to make the evening unforgettable. Rebecca's powerful singing voice, similar to Tina's, and her captivating impulsive stage presence stunned Tina Turner herself. She's the one who certainly knows how to keep an audience engaged and entertained for two hours with Tina's greatest hits. Get ready for the experience as Rebecca, with her live band and dancers, performs Tina Turner's greatest hits to perfection, including Nutbush City Limits, Proud Mary, River Deep, Private Dancer, When the Heartache Is Over, Better Be Good to Me, and of course her anthem Simply the Best.
