About this Event
Join BlackFest 2026 for a special live performance from the iconic British girl group Cleopatra.
Presented in partnership with The Tung Auditorium, this one-night-only event celebrates the legacy of one of the UK's most influential Black British pop groups. Sisters Cleopatra Higgins and Yonah Higgins return to the stage for an evening of powerful vocals, timeless hits, and unforgettable live music.
Formed in Manchester, Cleopatra made history in the late 1990s as the first Black British girl group to achieve mainstream chart success. Their debut single, Cleopatra's Theme, became an instant hit, reaching the UK Top 5 and earning the group a BRIT Award nomination for Best British Newcomer. Their debut album, Comin' Atcha!, featured fan favourites including Life Ain't Easy and A Touch of Love, cementing their place in British pop history.
Known for their soulful harmonies, infectious energy, and empowering message of confidence and sisterhood, Cleopatra continues to inspire audiences across generations.
