Glasgow legends of psychedelic instrumental saxophone-driven surf rock bops, The Beat Poets, will be celebrating their 40th anniversary at the Glad Cafe on the 20th February 2027!

Previously Alex Chilton's touring band, The Beat Poets gigs don't come around often! This will be their first Glasgow show in 5 years - not to be missed!

Support from Normal Service: bouncy post-punk project with minimal vocals, featuring Annie Spandex of Lung Leg fame, and Ganger's Graham Gavin. https://n0rma153rv1c3.bandcamp.com/music
