From The Jam

From The Jam have announced a major UK tour for Spring 2026, marking 20 years since their formation. The tour kicks off in Edinburgh on 22 May, and wraps up in Birmingham on 13 June. The band originally began in 2006 under the name ‘The Gift’, formed by The Jam’s drummer Rick Buckler and at one time featuring original bassist Bruce Foxton. While neither Buckler nor Foxton are part of the current line-up, their role in the band’s early years helped establish From The Jam as the definitive live celebration of The Jam’s music and legacy. From The Jam continue to be fronted by Russell Hastings as they were from their inception. The only frontman to have performed and recorded with both Buckler and Foxton since The Jam’s split in 1982, Hastings’ passion and deep knowledge for the band have earned From The Jam a devoted following of fans, packing out venues across the world. Audiences can expect to hear enduring classics such as ‘Going Underground’, ‘Start!’, ‘Town Called Malice’, and ‘That’s Entertainment’, delivered with the same precision and energy that made The Jam one of the UK’s most influential bands. Known for their mod image, melodic songs, and distinctly English style, The Jam achieved significant success with 18 consecutive Top 40 UK singles and 4 No.1 hits.

Police Dog Hogan

Since 2010, Police Dog Hogan have fused country-roots-Americana with a wholly British sensibility. Banjo player Tim Dowling’s Guardian column highlights their comic touring tales, but their music remains emotionally powerful, featuring driving country-rock with guitar, fiddle, banjo, accordion, and trumpet. The band have spent early 2025 touring to promote their 6th studio album, Lightning Strike, recorded over a single weekend at Middle Farm Studios in Devon. Lightning Strike followed on the heels of 2022’s success with Overground, which spent 4 weeks on the UK Folk album chart. PDH have played dozens of festivals, many of them repeatedly, including Glastonbury, Latitude, Cropredy, Cornbury, Beautiful Days, Kendall Calling and the Sidmouth Folk Festival. The band have played sold out shows at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Union Chapel, Scala, and Cadogan Hall, and have performed in Nashville, Ireland and France. In 2018, their song Devon Brigade was nominated for best original song at the AMA-UK Awards. The album it came from, Wild By The Side of the Road, spent several weeks in the Official UK Americana charts. Late 2024 saw Police Dog Hogan release a Christmas single, Pull Away, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI. Previously the band released another single, My First Christmas Alone, in winter of 2020 that helped to raise over £50k for Crisis and reached No.

Alana Springsteen

Ever since she was a little girl, Alana Springsteen has relied on songwriting as something of a lifeline: a way to heal from heartbreak and better understand her own emotions, to call herself out and unlock hidden sources of strength. Thanks to the undeniable power of her lyrics – not to mention her radiant voice and knack for crafting irresistible melodies – that approach has brought her massive success since first bursting onto the Country scene in 2019. Along with surpassing 125.8 MILLION streams globally, the 23-year-old Virginia Beach native has earned praise from major outlets like Billboard (“a classic female voice packed with angst and determination”) and PEOPLE (who noted that Springsteen represented “the future of country music”), toured with arena-filling acts like Luke Bryan and LANY, and – most importantly – built a passionate community of fans who’ve come to count on her boldly personal storytelling. Signed with Columbia Records NY/Sony Music Nashville, the Nashville-based artist now makes her highly anticipated full-length debut with TWENTY SOMETHING, a three-part album documenting all the pain, exhilaration, and life-changing transformation of early adulthood, immediately cementing her status as one of the most impactful songwriters of her generation*.* *By purchasing a ticket to this event you are agreeing to adhere to Islington Assembly Hall's terms and conditions: https://islingtonassemblyhall.co.uk/customer-terms-conditions-2022/* *All tickets to shows...
