Deviant

Electro Goth legends return to Sheffield with a full supporting cast! Deviant require no introduction. Formed in 2004 by devilishly charismatic frontman Jay Smith, they became ubiquitous mainstays of the UK dark alternative scene for the next decade, touring relentlessly throughout the UK, Europe, and the US. Equal parts industrial, goth and pop science, Deviant released two successful albums ‘Barbed Wire Star’ and ‘Very Bad Things’, spawning the classics ‘Access Denied!’, ‘Raptured Saints’, and ‘Wreckhead’. Alongside his own immediately recognisable sound, Smith collaborated with many scene heavyweights including Project Pitchfork, Rotersand, Tyskke Ludder, and Angels & Agony. With a reputation for spectacular and energetic live shows, Smith’s inimitable stage presence, iconic imagery and fist-in-the-air anthems make Deviant a must-see act. Now, in 2026, Deviant return bigger, better, and every bit as vital with a thumping new single ‘Resurrect Me’ and new album ‘Resurrection’, the first new material in 12 years.
