Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari, who are play­ing at Club 85 in Hitchin, says “Since we were 15 we’ve been play­ing grass­roots venues up and down the coun­try. They were our home and gave us the oppor­tu­ni­ty to devel­op into the band we are today. One of those venues was Club 85. So it’s so great to be able to return and play there again after more than a decade and help high­light the fact that these venues need sup­port espe­cial­ly right now after they’ve been sat emp­ty for near­ly two years.”

Becky Hill, who will be return­ing to Birmingham’s Sun­flower Lounge where she played as a teenag­er, says: “Play­ing this venue will most like­ly have me regress­ing to that 17 year old young woman, with her whole life ahead of her, and make me very, very grate­ful for where I am now.”
