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.

Producer and creator of Pretty Vacant – The Story of Punk and New Wave, Ged Graham said: “This newest creation is not just a show – it’s a rebellion against the ordinary! From its birth in New York City to its adolescence in London and onto its maturity across the globe, Punk and New Wave is most defiantly the music that defined a generation.”

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!

Pretty Vacant - The Story of Punk and New Wave is the stage show not to be missed.

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.  Between 1976 and 1979 the music world and popular culture was turned upside down as bands, musicians and fashion adopted a new and fresh ‘DIY’ approach to making music and expressing itself. From its birth in New York City to its adolescence in London and onto its maturity across the globe, Punk and New Wave is most definitely the music that defined a generation. 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.
