Not many musical explosions define a generation and change music for ever. There was Rock and Roll in 1956, Beatlemania in 1963, Flower Power in 1967, The birth of Rock in 1970 and then there was… Punk and New Wave.
For the first time all the hits, attitude and fashion are brought to the stage by this incredibly talented cast of musicians, singers and dancers that will take you on a rollercoaster ride you will never forget.
Featuring hits originally performed by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, The Damned, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Sham 69, The Undertones, Tom Robinson Band, Ian Dury and The Blockheads, The Police, The Jam, Generation X, Siouxsie and The Banshees, The Pretenders, Joy Division, The Stranglers, The Rezillos, and many more!
Actor and musician, Kevin Kennedy, will be joining the show ‘Pretty Vacant - The Story of Punk and New Wave’ on stage as the narrator.
Kevin Kennedy, widely known for his role as Curly Watts on Coronation Street, brings his real-world band experience to this epic punk show. He was a member of Paris Valentinos alongside Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke, who later formed The Smiths. Kennedy's stage career includes notable performances in West End productions such as We Will Rock You and Rock of Ages.
