Our Half Drunk Club weekender is set to return this September!
On Friday 11th September, we'll be moving in to Firebug for the weekend to bring you an incredible line-up of ska, punk and reggae acts!
Our Saturday headliner, is none other than New York's finest ska outfit; The Toasters! More about them here:
New York City’s pioneering SKA band The Toasters are going strong 45 years later, with a series of tours spanning North America to Europe in 2026. They are set to bring their sound to various cities as part of their 45 Years in SKA Tour, delivering the high-energy, brass-driven sound that has made them legends of the genre.
Closing out Half Drunk Club 2026, is ska-tinged punk rockers Millie Manders and the Shut Up! A bit about Millie:
In troubled times, we need artists who will shine a light in the dark, and Millie Manders is emerging as a voice of her generation. Her excellent second album, Wake Up, Shut Up, Work, released on 2 August, is exactly the kind of tonic we need right now. It’s chock-full of ideas, opinions and huge hooks, marinated in teeth-rattling riffs and ska-tinged punk, led by Millie’s huge, emotive, clarion vocal.
Headlining opening night (Friday), are Half Drunk Club favourites, Dakka Skanks, a bit more about them:
Dakka Skanks are a band seriously committed to bringing hard reggae, ska, dub and punk rhythms together in a fresh style. The band have a passion and organic togetherness crafted through years of writing and performing with each other. Clara Byrne’s mesmerising lead vocals cut through like a wave of emotion, her lyrical integrity straight from the soul, with serious social and political issues explored through dramatic delivery. From hard steppers to traditional ska, furious punk and sprinklings of soul, Dakka Skanks come with the style and always bring the dance.
Also joining the line up:
Zen Baseballbat, Fidget and the Twitchers, Filthy Militia, The Hostiles, Old Chase, Natural Right, The Crash Mats, DK vs The Kingdom, Hot Squash, Los Fatso Libres, Boilers, A Kick In The Bits, False Summits and MDK.
Tickets:
Friday £12.50
Saturday £20.00
Sunday £15.00
Weekend £42.50
