The Sparrer boys played their only official U.K. show at the tail end of last year in Leeds. Having said that, they did step up and filled in for The Damned at Rebellion, in the summer at very short notice, much to the thrill of the crowd! The Leeds show at The Project House on 9th December was a resounding success which saw the venue filled to capacity as fans from all over came to meet (pretty much in the geographical middle of the U.K) for a night of Street Punk and Oi! Knock Off kickstarted the night and got the party started! The trio blasted their way through their set, a fitting start to what would be a fantastic and memorable night. Sparrer were on top form and like rapid machinegun fire, went through their set, firing out one hit after another. The police siren, styled-guitar notes launched Sparrer’s set off. The all too familiar intro played by Micky Beaufoy was met with cheers as Daryl Smith gestured a welcoming hello as he launched into driving rhythm guitar. The low rumble of Steve Burgess’ bass hit right between the eyes, just at the point Steve Bruce’s drums went into gear. This well-rehearsed time-honoured tradition of the opening song was just what the fans wanted. Cool, calm and collected and to audible cheers over the music, Colin McFaull strode on stage and grabbed his microphone and got stuck into it! 19 songs later and the show closed with ‘We’re Coming Back’ and aint that the truth! 

Cock Sparrer will be playing a double set. One show will see all the classic hits and fan favourites! The guys will be playing obscure and seldom played live songs along with the new tracks from the album. These shows will be a mixture of old and new. There will be lots of limited merch and rarities.

Sparrer will be headlining Rebellion on Saturday 3rd Aug Each day’s acts have been announced so go check out who is playing when. This year is filled with some of the biggest, best and hottest new bands on the scene, so don’t delay, get yourself booked up for what looks like the biggest and best Rebellion yet!
