The Afghan Whigs @ The Palais w/ Ed Harcourt

The Afghan Whigs are marking their 40 Year anniversary, and are coming to Nottingham's Palais! I'm a big fan of these, and Black Love was definitely one of my most listened to albums from around the time. They have a new album out, Soft Control, and that sounds excellent too! Unfortunately, I'm double gigging on this day, and going to see Riskee & The Ridicule earlier on in the day, so I'm unlikely to be meeting up before, but I will be hoping to get there in time for Ed Harcourt who is supporting. I will keep people informed of my whereabouts though, and I'm hoping another organiser might help with this too! I've set up a group chat for this at: The Afghan Whigs @ The Palais 20/9 Tickets are just under £41 inc fees from: The Afghan Whigs - The Palais - Nottingham - 20/09/2026 18:00 FB Event: The Afghan Whigs live at The Palais | Facebook THE AFGHAN WHIGS - LIVE AT THE PALAIS, NOTTINGHAM SUPPORT: ED HARCOURT Since their reformation in 2012, The Afghan Whigs have stormed back to life with several world tours, major festival appearances and released three new critically acclaimed albums Do To The Beast (2014), In Spades (2017) and 2022’s How Do You Burn? "The Afghan Whigs are better now than they’ve ever been. The last decade of the band’s output, 2014’s Do to the Beast and three years later, In Spades, and, now, How Do You Burn?, reflect a streak unmatched by any other period in their storied, 35-year career. Like The Empire Strikes Back, The Afghan Whigs 2.0 is the rare sequel that outshines the original." – SPIN The band just recently released a new double A-side single Fake Like / Downtown on December 10th which is the first new music from the group since the release of their 2022 album How Do You Burn?, which received immense critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Los Angeles Times, SPIN, Stereogum, Billboard and more. Next year, 2026, marks the 40th anniversary of The Afghan Whigs. Many plans are in the works for the band already and will be announced in the new year.
