Cheap Dirty Horse

Cheap Dirty Horse are a stirring force at the heart of the UK’s folk punk underground, originating from Nottingham and active since 2021. Fusing unruly acoustic energy with sharp lyrical wit, the group have become key figures in a genre that thrives on authenticity and raw emotion. Their music captures the spirited dynamism of folk protest and the visceral pulses of punk, resonating with audiences who seek substance and edge in their live music experiences.

The band have built their reputation on the road, with 2026 seeing them headline dates in Liverpool, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh. Notably, Cheap Dirty Horse have also supported The Bridge City Sinners, joining them at venues including The Fleece in Bristol, The Dome in London, and Rescue Rooms in Nottingham. This dual role as both headliners and stalwarts alongside established acts speaks to their versatility and growing presence on the UK touring circuit.

Recent releases highlight the prolific energy of Cheap Dirty Horse, from their live albums recorded at Leeds’ Wharf Chambers and Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney, to their forthcoming full-length, “The Rise and Foal of a Midlands Dirty Horse.” With a headline show at The Bodega, Nottingham in October 2026, now is the ideal time to follow Cheap Dirty Horse and stay up-to-date with their latest gigs and tour dates.
