The Downstrokes

Expect hook‑driven songs as US Punk legends The Downstrokes are joined by northern English rockers The Longshots & London fav Televised Mind

The Downstrokes are storming across the UK and Ireland in late May and early June 2026, bringing their razor‑sharp garage‑punk energy to stages from Liverpool to London, Belfast to Dublin. Joined by northern punk stalwarts The Longshots, this run marks The Downstrokes’ first-ever shows on this side of the Atlantic and comes just ahead of their new album The Furious Hours. Expect tight, hook‑driven songs, sweat-soaked rooms, and two bands cut from the same raw, working-class punk lineage. It’s a short tour, a loud tour, and the only chance to catch this pairing before The Downstrokes head back to the States—so grab a ticket, bring your mates, and get ready for a night that hits hard and doesn’t let up.

Televised Mind

Opening the evening are indie-punk upstarts Televised Mind. Founded in the local music scene in early 2023 after instigator Ste had stumbled into songwriting. Fast forward to 2026 and the boys have just recorded their second EP with the legendary Gordon Raphael. Expect catchy hooks, vivid storytelling and lyrics that will get stuck in your head.
