The Smyths! ‘the Queen Is Dead' 40th Anniversary

THE SMYTHS ‘THE QUEEN IS DEAD’ 40TH ANNIVERSARY; Greatest Hits & More! 7:30pm | Friday 5th June | Club 85, Hitchin. We’re delighted to announce THE SMYTHS are back on tour and joining us one more at Club 85 following their sell out show at the venue in 2025. To mark the 40th anniversary of The Queen Is Dead, their 2026 tour features the album performed with all the love and detail it deserves- including: The Queen Is Dead, Frankly / Mr. Shankly / I Know It’s Over / Never Had No One Ever / Cemetery Gates / Bigmouth Strikes Again / The Boy With The Thorn In His Side / Vicar In A Tutu / There Is A Light That Never Goes Out, / Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others. The night will then conclude with a “best of” set covering the classic Smiths catalogue. With over 20 years of shows behind them and 900+ live dates across Europe and Australia, The Smyths faithfully and effortlessly bring the music of The Smiths back to life, imagining how the band might sound today, four decades on. If you’ve ever mourned the fact you never got to see the real thing, this is the closest you’re going to get. “Having had the very good fortune to have worked up close and personal with THE SMITHS, I can vouch that THE SMYTHS are the most excellent “tribute” to the Smiths’ music and legacy. The Smyths’ musicianship is undoubtedly of a very high standard enabling them to play every song from The Smiths and Morrissey’s catalog with incredible precision and feel.
