Event Details

Those cheeky Yorkshire flatcap banjo folk rockers Shanghai Treason have gone from strength to strength since launching in late 2019. It's a rebellious, rawkus, festival friendly, high octane, knees up, feel good, party atmosphere kind of performance, leaving audiences in big tops, venues and fields alike with smiles all round reaching for a fresh round of pints, or two, or more likely three, it's just that kind of music.

They've supported and toured with the likes of Ferocious Dog, Stiff Little Fingers, Buzzcocks, Skinny Lister, Hayseed Dixie, The Undertones, From The Jam, Mad Dog Mcrea, The Rumjacks, Terrorvision & many more.

The Sheffield based band's latest album 'Brave Willing & Strong' landed in September 2023 and received much critical acclaim. All aboard the good ship treason... docking at a port near you soon!

With an ever growing fanbase at their side, Headsticks are reaching new heights with their self proclaimed ‘Revolutionary Punk Roots Rock’n’Roll’ which has cross genre appeal seeing the band gaining endless plaudits from pillars of the Folk/Roots, Post Punk, Punk, and even the rock and blues fraternities.

Since late 2012 the band have relentlessly gigged and recorded and their hard work is now well and truly coming to fruition with their albums and their live performances receiving rave reviews from all corners of the musical spectrum as anthemic choruses, barbed lyrics, irresistible riffs, and uplifting beats are combined with a wry sense of humour, to deliver social commentary to encapsulate the spirit of this unique band.

Whether it’s the full throttle, heart pounding stompers, the anthemic singalongs, or the haunting acoustic ballads, Headsticks deliver an experience like no other band, built on honesty, integrity, bloody hard work, and a passion for what they believe.
