BwD Venues

Brace yourselves – the UK’s most notorious punk rock degenerates are back! The Macc Lads are hitting the stage for a night of no-holds-barred chaos, and if you’re easily offended… well, that’s your problem.

Since the early ’80s, The Macc Lads have been dishing out their uniquely outrageous brand of punk: loud, proud, and packed with the kind of lyrics your mum warned you about. With cult classics like Beer & Sex & Chips n Gravy, Now He’s a Poof, and Get to F***, these lads from Macclesfield have made their name as the most politically incorrect band to ever insult a microphone – and they’re not slowing down.
Expect thunderous guitars, pounding drums, and a frontman with no filter and no shame. This is punk in its purest, most offensive form – rough around the edges, full of energy, and guaranteed to leave a trail of empty cans and offended sensibilities.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a first-time mosher, this is your chance to witness one of the UK’s rawest live acts – loud, lewd, and larger than life. Bring your mates, bring your earplugs, and maybe leave your dignity at home.
Don’t miss The Macc Lads – because decency is overrated.
