Making waves for over 35 years, Billy Bragg returns to the stage

 

Making waves for over 35 years, Billy Bragg has been a fearless recording artist, tireless live performer and peerless political campaigner.

 

Honoured with the PRS Outstanding Contribution to British Music award at the Ivor Novello awards in May 2018, he is regarded a valuable statesman and activist.

 

If social conscience is the glue that binds punk and folk, then Billy Bragg is that adhesive brought to life. Equal parts Woody Guthrie and Joe Strummer, Bragg’s ragged folk anthems have always been squarely on the side of the underdog, punching up with an eternally potent mix of righteous fury, laser-guided wit and romanticism.

 

In October 2020, Bragg announced a huge UK and Irish tour for 2021. “We all need something to hang on to,” Bragg said. “My hope is that we’ll be able to get together again and enjoy the uplift that live music brings, to audience and performer alike.”

 

Billy Bragg will be performing live at the O2 Academy Bristol on Friday 12 November 2021.
