Hootie & the Blowfish

Wednesday, May 12, 2027 - O2 Academy, Bristol

On 12 May 2027, O2 Academy Bristol hosts Hootie & The Blowfish as their May run continues, foregrounding the band’s polished mix of pop rock and rock. Spin Doctors again handle support, adding alternative rock tension, blues rock bite and funk rock swing, with indie pop flashes in their choruses. Slotted between Glasgow and Manchester, the Bristol date catches the tour in full flow, with both groups leaning into guitar-led arrangements and rhythmic grooves. It is a bill that draws a clear line between radio-ready pop hooks and the rawer edges of US alt-rock and blues traditions.
