ROCK star Marc Bolan with his band T.Rex was one of the most flamboyant and charismatic stars of the original glam rock era.

Next year theatre goers in Wimborne will be able to recreate the experience of what it was like to attend a live Bolan show when tribute band T.Rextasy visits the Tivoli.

T.Rextasy has been performing all over the world for the past 25 years and returns to the UK in 2017 for the Marc Bolan 40th commemorative anniversary tour - which would also have been Bolan’s 70th birthday.

Accepted as the world’s only official live tribute band dedicated to Bolan and T.Rex, it is the only band endorsed and approved by Bolan’s family and original members of T.Rex.

The new UK tour which includes a date at the Tivoli on Friday, at 8pm on January 27, promises to showcase all of the hits with both electric and acoustic performances, faithfully recreating the energy and performance of Marc Bolan and T.Rex.

Bringing audiences to their feet across the globe, the whole family will enjoy the experience of being transported back to the 70s to re-live the experience of attending a Marc Bolan concert live.

This full-on concert showcases all of the hits with both electric and acoustic performances.

T.Rextasy has been performing all over the world for 25 years, a career that ironically out-lives Marc’s very own T.Rex.

Hits on the night will include Telegram Sam and Jeepster, and one of Bolan’s most memorable signature tunes, ‘I Love to Boogie’.

Members of T.Rextasy are Danielz, vocals and lead guitar, Neil Cross, rhythm guitars, backing vocals, Rob Butterfield, bass guitar, backing vocals and John Skelton on drums.

Online tickets for the concert start at £20.90, while box office tickets start at £19 (excludes booking fees).

*The tour also calls in later into the Octagon, Yeovil, on March 3 and later in the year at Lighthouse, Poole, on November 10
