It took twelve Grammy awards and decades of hard work for Tina Turner to become the Queen of Rock and Roll. Now, a full orchestra is coming together to celebrate that long journey with a massive sound on Thursday, January 8, 2026. This special night starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center in Florida. You can hear the power of a legend in every note of the first performance, where three singers join forces to share the songs that made everyone feel strong.
This music is about being brave even when things are very hard. The performance shows two sides of a great artist because it is both loud and soft at the same time.
