Face Up

Face Up is a hardcore punk collective based in Birmingham, UK, bringing an unfiltered edge to the West Midlands’ live music scene since 2016. With a focus on relentless energy and raw authenticity, this cover band has carved a loyal following amongst hardcore punk enthusiasts. Their most recent album, “Fu!”, released in July 2023, follows on from their acclaimed full-length “The World Is Ours”, and showcases a catalogue of intense tracks such as “A United Chance”, “Doomsday”, and “Fuc.K. Will Kill You”.

Face Up’s gig history reflects their place in the UK underground circuit, regularly sharing the stage with established acts. In May 2026, the band appeared at Esquires in Bedford for the Punky Reggae Party as a support act for Karl Phillips & The Rejects, and prior to that, they supported The Meffs at The Ferret in Preston and The Effigies at The Underworld in London. Each of these concerts highlights Face Up’s reputation as an electrifying live act and a formidable presence alongside prominent headliners in the alternative and punk world.

Looking ahead to autumn 2026, Face Up is set to support punk icons The Exploited at venues including The Castle & Falcon in Birmingham, The Roadmender in Northampton, and Slay in Glasgow. For fans of hardcore punk, these tour dates offer the perfect opportunity to witness Face Up’s uncompromising sound and commitment to the genre.
