About the show

Back (To The Old House) by popular demand! The Smyths make a welcome return to The Fire Station with The Queen Is Dead 40th Anniversary Tour

For over 20 years, The Smyths have brought the music of The Smiths back to life across hundreds of shows in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand as well as countless festivals - including Glastonbury.

Acclaimed by Johnny Marr, Mike Joyce, the late Andy Rourke and producer Stephen Street, The Smyths pay homage to the band who will never re-form.

The music of The Smiths remains as fresh and important as it did at the time of the band's inception. For anyone mourning the live absence of the original band, The Smyths are the closest you’ll ever get to being there.
