King Blonde are bringing their stadium-ready sound to Derby.

🎤 Don’t miss your chance to catch them live this September at The Hairy Dog!

They’ve lit up Beat The Streets, Hockley Hustle, and opened two sold-out shows at The Bodega. Now, fresh from their first official Nottingham headline at Rough Trade —

42.5K audio streams, 13.7K YouTube views & BBC Introducing support on all nine of their singles, they’re making serious waves. 2023 saw them hit the stage at Y Not Festival, & in 2024, none other than Justin Hawkins (The Darkness) played their track ‘Life of Esty’ to a sold-out Sheffield City Hall

Drawing influence from the likes of Nothing But Thieves, Jeff Buckley, The Cure, and Smashing Pumpkins, this five-piece craft a dark, dreamy indie-rock sound with an irresistible pop edge.

King Blonde – Live at The Hairy Dog this September 🎸✨

Soaring choruses, powerful vocals, and guitar hooks that stay with you — King Blonde have been turning heads since their debut in 2021.

If you can please let us know if you’re coming (through the event link below) and where possible share this post / event, we would all be very gratefateful. Thank you 🙏🏼

Still buzzing from last night at Vic Inn - Sold out. Hot. Sweaty. Loud.

Death of the High Street set the tone with a blistering opener, Kez kept the energy surging, & then GANS absolutely tore the roof off (watch the F’in ceiling 😂) Wall-to-wall bodies & not a still foot in the room 🔥
