Kevin Spacey is to sing in a big band at a Cyprus resort in an ambitious bid to claw back his showbusiness career.
The disgraced Hollywood outcast, 66, will perform for one night at the Parklane Luxury Collection Resort in Limassol, Cyprus.
Tickets for his ‘Songs & Stories’ performance are priced from £220, with a £1,100 VIP package including a 30-minute meet-and-greet photo opportunity, bottle of champagne and fruit platter, according to The Sun.
The Oscar-winner will be backed by a jazz band and will tell tales from his showbusiness career in between performing songs.
Organisers said: ‘With the elegance of Sinatra, the wit of Dean Martin, and a career that spans decades of unforgettable performances, Spacey brings a voice and presence that’s simply unmatched.
‘This is not just a concert. It’s not just an evening of stories.
‘It’s the return of an entertainer in the grandest sense of the word—for one night only in Limassol’s most prestigious venue.’
The 90-minute event is taking place on November 15 with guests being told to wear ‘cocktail attire’

The Daily Mail has contacted Spacey’s representatives for comment.
Spacey returned to the spotlight in May this year to collect a Lifetime Achievement Award at a gala in Cannes following claims the director is not welcome at the film festival.
The controversial actor, who was cleared of sexual assault on four men two years ago, took the opportunity to slam ‘blacklisting’ in Hollywood.
Spacey was honoured at a gala hosted by the Better World Fund as he continued his return to the public eye after a lengthy UK trial in 2023 which cleared him of the allegations.
He was ‘recognised not only for his decades of artistic brilliance but also his enduring impact on cinema and the arts,’ according to a statement.
The gala is not an official part of the French film festival but the Carlton Hotel plays host to much of the activities during the prestigious event in Cannes.
The Telegraph reported that the film festival had not extended an invitation to Spacey and organisers have denied any involvement with the actor.

Spacey, who is making his first visit to Cannes since 2016 to promote his new film, The Awakening, was ‘recognised not only for his decades of artistic brilliance’
A statement by the event’s organisers said he was attending an event with ‘no affiliation whatsoever to the festival’.
In July 2023, the American Beauty star was found not guilty of assaulting four men after a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, in one of the UK’s most high-profile #MeToo trials.
The decision to celebrate Spacey by Better World Fund, a charity which aims to make a ‘positive impact on the world’, has sparked outrage, with many calling it a ‘disgrace’ to the MeToo movement.
It came months after the actor was hit with another sexual abuse claim, court records show, 18 months after he was cleared of a series of criminal charges.
Ruari Cannon is suing Spacey at the High Court, as well as two organisations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London.
Dushal Mehta, of law firm Fieldfisher, confirmed that he had issued a claim on behalf of Mr Cannon, and also said that he had waived his anonymity in the claim.
No details of the allegations involved are currently available.
Spacey was previously acquitted in criminal proceedings of several sexual offences alleged by four men between 2001 and 2013.
One of the men, who cannot be identified, has also sued Spacey over his claims he was sexually assaulted by the actor and suffered ‘psychiatric damage’, which the actor denies.
The actor has denied all allegations of inappropriate behaviour and criminal wrongdoing.
Spacey’s Academy Awards were for best supporting actor for The Usual Suspects in 1996 and best actor in 2000 for American Beauty, which also secured him a Bafta for leading actor.
Last April, the actor appeared to dismiss claims of inappropriate behaviour in Channel 4’s documentary as he praised the men in the show for their ‘great acting’.

Channel 4’s two-part series came nine months after Spacey was cleared of nine sexual assault charges and looked at fresh claims against him made by several men, ‘almost all of whom have never spoken before’.
It is said to take a ‘forensic look at a man who was once one of the most admired and respected actors in the world’.
But Spacey seemed to disregard the show as a work of fiction in a statement given to entertainment magazine Variety.
He said: ‘I’m honoured to be starring in my first film with Warner Brothers in many years.
‘I hope the Academy takes note of some of the great acting by the lesser-known cast.’
In May 2024, he thanked his fellow actors for defending him amidst the sexual abuse allegations.
A raft of A-listers – including Liam Neeson and Sharon Stone – rallied around the Oscar-winning star to call for an end to his ‘seven-year exile’.
