club 85 presents fathers day! Not Your Average Dad Rock The Father’s Day alt and Pop-Punk Party Who says Father’s Day has to be boring? We’ve curated a lineup of the loudest alt and pop-punk talent to celebrate the dads who rock. Catch a full roster of live bands for a day of nostalgia, power chords, and pop-punk classics. KERRANK! KERRANK! is the definitive live KERRANG! tribute bringing the anthems, attitude, and sweat-soaked sound of the 90s – 00s to the stage. Born from distortion and raised on power chords, KERRANK! is your backstage pass to the loudest revival in town. www.facebook.com/kerrankband www.instagram.com/kerrankband Bowling For Who? Bowling For Who? is the ultimate tribute to the masters of pop-punk, Bowling For Soup. We’re bringing you all the hits, the high-energy riffs, and the questionable jokes you know and love. From “Girl All The Bad Guys Want” to “High School Never Ends,” we promise a night of nostalgia, beer-fueled singalongs, and absolutely no maturity whatsoever. https://www.instagram.com/bowlingforsouptribute/ DOORS 7.30pm ENTRY £11 advance (plus online booking fee) / £14 on the door.

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.
