Sometimes, the best nights out happen beyond the LA city limits. Just an hour east, the Inland Empire is trading California palm trees for the gritty streets of 1920s Birmingham. Candlelight: Peaky Blinders is set to illuminate the First Congregational Church of Riverside, filling the space with the celebrated music of the series and the immersive glow of thousands of candles.

Tickets are officially on sale, offering the perfect excuse for a scenic road trip just an hour east of Los Angeles.

Candlelight: Peaky Blinders in the Inland Empire

The hour-long concert brings the distinctive soundtrack of the acclaimed BBC drama to life through powerful, atmospheric live arrangements. Renowned for seamlessly pairing a period aesthetic with modern rock, the performance reimagines that signature swagger for an intimate environment.

Audiences can expect brooding renditions of iconic tracks, including Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ opening theme, “Red Right Hand,” and Arctic Monkeys’ “Do I Wanna Know?”, proving exactly how thrilling a rock anthem can sound by candlelight.

Designed by Myron Hunt, the structure was built in 1913 so it goes perfectly with the show’s 1920s vibe. It was added to the National Register in 1997. Set inside the two-story Spanish Colonial Revival building, guests can enjoy the show’s most iconic themes surrounded by the gorgeous architectural of the historic United Church of Christ church.

While there is no strict dress code, attendees are highly encouraged to embrace the 1920s aesthetic. Whether opting for a tweed three-piece suit, suspenders, and a newsboy cap, or a drop-waist dress and cloche hat, dressing the part guarantees full immersion into the era.

Trading the freeway for a striking candlelit church in Riverside is the kind of detour that elevates a regular evening into a memorable occasion. Secure your tickets, plan the drive, and dress sharp. By order of the Peaky Blinders.
