Cockney Rejects – Farewell Tour 2023!
British punk trailblazers Cockney Rejects’ first performance in Singapore could very well be their last.
Their concert here is part of their global farewell tour. The band’s beginnings date back to the late 1970s.
Formed in the East End of London, the quartet made their name worldwide with their hard-edged street anthems such as Oi! Oi! Oi! (1980) and their version of I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles (1980), the signature song of English football club West Ham United.
The band would go on to influence latter-day punk bands such as Green Day and Rancid.
The concert will also feature supporting sets by Singapore punk bands Opposition Party, The Maniacs, Generation 69 and Hard Steel Comrades.
Where: Aliwal Arts Centre, 28 Aliwal Road
MRT: Bugis
