Blight Town

Hailing from Nottingham, Blight Town have carved a distinct place within the UK live music circuit, building a reputation for electrifying performances and unconventional songwriting. Their discography showcases a flair for dynamic shifts and inventive musicianship, with standout releases such as the singles "World Speed Ravine" and "Go Go Gadget Bulletproof Head!" both capturing attention since their unveiling in 2025. Earlier works including the EP "It Lives..." and their self-titled 2021 release further demonstrate a commitment to pushing creative boundaries, while song titles like "Al Gore Rhythm" and "Argument Bargument" hint at a playful yet incisive approach to lyricism.

Blight Town's presence on tour dates across the UK reflects a committed engagement with the live music community. In March 2026, they supported newshapes at prominent venues including The Star and Garter in Manchester and The Dome in London, reinforcing their status as a formidable support act. Their ongoing calendar reflects both headlining pedigree, such as their concert at Nottingham’s The Bodega in August 2026, and a continued role as key support for established acts. Notably, autumn 2026 sees Blight Town joining Hail The Sun across multiple UK shows, including stops at The Underworld in London, Institute3 in Birmingham, and Exeter Cavern—further cementing their place in the contemporary gig scene.
