MILLIE MANDERS & THE SHUT UP

MILLIE MANDERS AND THE SHUTUP are increasingly hard to ignore. With main stage appearances at notable festivals such
as Slam Dunk, Beautiful Days and Rebellion, and extensive support from the likes of BBC Introducing and Radio X, the last
two years have propelled them into the public conscience and music industry at large.
Fronted by Millie, who possesses staggering vocal dexterity, and backed by grinding guitars and irresistible horns,
MMATSU has huge pop appeal. The lyrics deliberate on themes of loss, betrayal, anger, anxiety, heartbreak and bitterness,
environmental catastrophe and political unrest. With a conscience ensuring zero plastic wrapping on any merchandise, and
that limited edition artwork and clothing are sold to help raise money for charities, Millie Manders and The Shutup are
striving to make a difference whilst keeping us uplifted and brilliantly entertained.
The live shows are renowned for their power and contagious energy and 2026 sees MMATSU writing their third album
while maintaining their furious touring schedule.

with high octane live shows and attitude backed with morality ...”

so early in the day”
