The Amber Squad + The Sleepers + Tri-subversion + FirstWave

THE AMBER SQUAD

The Amber Squad bring vibrant, high-energy power-pop and pub-rock shaped since the late ’70s. Their debut single, boosted by John Peel, launched them onto stages across the UK. Reuniting in 2015, they’ve continued to impress at top venues at home and abroad. With original members still driving the sound, The Amber Squad deliver catchy melodies, tight performances and an enduring, feel-good musical punch.

THE SLEEPERS

The Sleepers return to the stage with the energy that made them one of the most exciting underground bands to emerge from the late ‘70s punk scene. Formed in 1979, the band first made their mark with the cult-favourite Angel in a Raincoat EP, gaining national attention and airplay from John Peel. Their melodic, hard-hitting sound led to support slots with the Skids and Cockney Rejects and cemented their reputation across the UK and Europe.

Revived decades later after a Berlin band covered their debut single, The Sleepers hit the stage once again to packed rooms and an international fanbase. Recent releases on Queen Mum Records and a successful 2025 run have reignited demand for their powerful live shows.
