About the Show
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has been at the forefront of the swing revival since they burst onto the scene in the 1990s. Known for their energetic live performances, polished musicianship, and timeless sound, the band brings a contagious energy that fills every room they play.
Their setlist spans original hits like "Go Daddy-O" and "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)," alongside swing and jazz classics that get crowds on their feet. The Midland Theatre, a beautifully restored 1928 movie palace, provides an intimate and acoustically rich setting that is perfect for this kind of show.
Getting There
The Midland Theatre is located in downtown Newark at 36 North Park Place. Parking is available in nearby lots and along city streets. The venue is about a 15-minute drive from Heath and Granville, and roughly 45 minutes from downtown Columbus.
Make a Night of It
Downtown Newark has several great restaurants and bars within walking distance of the theatre. Arrive early for dinner and drinks before the show, or stop by one of the local spots after the encore. It is a fantastic way to spend a summer evening in Licking County.
