NEW SHOW: Test Dept + Bruise Blood

📆 Sunday 4th October 2026

Formed in London in the early 1980s, Test Dept are regarded as one of the pioneering forces of 'industrial music', recognised for their groundbreaking sound and powerful performances that pushed the boundaries of music, art and protest while exploring political and social issues.

Centred around the founding duo of Paul Jamrozy and Gray Cunnington since resurfacing in the mid-2010s, the group recently signed to the Artoffact label and have started to issue a series of carefully curated box sets along with a brand new album targeted for 2026.

Test Dept continue to break down barriers and are sonic material handlers, investigative agitators, authentic industrialists, utilisers and recyclers of society's debris. They engage with the current cultural and political climate, exploring new ways of expression in a strategic programme of actions, and are needed now, more than ever!

JUST ANNOUNCED: Fiat Lux band official

📆 Friday 2nd October 2026

Fiat Lux have enjoyed an incredible renaissance since they reformed.

Their "comeback" single "It's You" was voted one of the "Best Songs Of The Decade" by The Electricity Club; Universal Music digitally re-released all their Polydor 80's back catalogue following the success of the remake "Secrets 2017" and Cherry Red Records made a well selling retrospective CD boxset of their Polydor years: "Hired History Plus".

The latest album on 9 x 9 records, "Desire & Belief", follows up their recent studio LPs "Saved Symmetry" and "Twisted Culture" (No12 in The Electric Cafe's Best Of 2021). Expect excerpts from them, plus a hearty helping of their 80's classics.

Support comes from Promenade Cinema & HaHa Hats.

NEW SHOW: The Skids + Theatre Of Hate

Two era defining artists SKIDS & THEATRE OF HATE come together this autumn for an explosive UK co-headline tour.

The Skids formed in 1977 in their hometown of Dunfermline, Scotland by Richard Jobson, Stuart Adamson, Bill Simpson & Tom Kellichan. After releasing an independent single the band were played by John Peel, supported The Clash in concert and then were signed to Virgin Records in 1978. Their first singles were “Sweet Surburbia”, “The Saints are Coming” and “Into the Valley”

Kirk Brandon formed THEATRE OF HATE from the ashes of heralded punk band The Pack. Theatre Of Hate’s debut double-A-side single, “Legion”/”Original Sin”, topped the independent chart in 1980, and “Westworld”, their debut album, produced by Mick Jones from The Clash and released in 1982, held the number one position for 21 weeks.

NEW SHOW!

Following on from FOUR SOLD OUT shows at the venue in previous years, The Smiths Ltd - The Smiths Tribute Band return to Birmingham for 2027 at the Castle and Falcon on Saturday 27th February!

If you never saw The Smiths then this is your chance to experience the thrill of those great songs played live. If you were lucky enough to see them first time around then prepare to relive that excitement again.

Committed to getting the same energy that Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce had onstage together, the band are also obsessed about getting that live sound just right.

With an authenticity and provenance that’s hard to beat The Smiths Ltd are the ultimate tribute.
