Hey! Manchester, Please Please You & Brudenell Presents...The Dream Syndicate
Performing 'Medicine' in its entirety.
01.02.2026 | £25.00 ADVANCE (stbf) | Doors 18:30

The Dream Syndicate will perform their visceral 1984 album Medicine Show on tour in the US and Europe beginning in November 2025 and carrying through March of 2026. The tour will sync with a reissue of Medicine Show (now expanded into a 4-CD set of 42 songs, 29 unreleased performances [live and studio] from 1983-84) and a vinyl LP on the band’s own Down There label, distributed by Fire Records.
It will be the first time the band has played Medicine Show in its entirety and comes fresh on the heels of a similar and successful tour for The Days of Wine and Roses in 2022.
The band will open each evening with a set of new material, drawn from the four reunion albums they have made since 2017, take a short break and then switch over to Medicine Show - heralded as one of the 40 best rock albums ever by the London Guardian. It has been out of print in every format for decades.
The reissue comes on the heels of an intense and lengthy legal battle that ended with the band winning the rights to the album which they’ll be signing every evening at the merch table after the show.
The Dream Syndicate burst onto the LA scene at the beginning of 1982 as the leaders of the Paisley Underground movement – becoming one of the leading lights of the American Indie scene that was brewing after the birth of punk and new wave. Four albums and countless tours followed before The Dream Syndicate disbanded in 1988, then reuniting in 2012. The core band of Steve Wynn, Dennis Duck and Mark Walton from the first incarnation was joined by Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3 guitarist Jason Victor and eventually Green on Red keyboardist Chris Cacavas, the lineup that endures to this day.
