Festival Republic in association with Solo Agency have today announced that the godfather of punk Iggy Pop will be playing a special one-off outdoor show at Crystal Palace Park on Saturday 01 July 2023. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Iggy Pop recently exploded back onto the scene with the aptly titled single \u2018Frenzy\u2019 \u2013 LISTEN HERE<\/a> and the news of his new album, EVERY LOSER<\/em><\/strong>, to be unleashed on the public come Friday 06 January 2023 \u2013 Pre-Order and Pre-Save HERE.<\/a> <\/strong>The veritable legend knows how to throw a party and will be joined by very special guests, the iconic Blondie,<\/strong> punk rock supergroup Generation Sex <\/strong>and more for an incredible summer evening in the company of music royalty.Tickets go on general sale 10AM Friday 18 November, available from<\/strong> www.ticketmaster.co.uk<\/strong><\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely acknowledged as one of the most influential artists and dynamic live performers of all time, Iggy Pop<\/strong> is a singer, songwriter, musician, author, record producer, DJ, and actor whose epic body of work has earned him both worldwide critical acclaim and fanatic cult success. The upcoming EVERY LOSER<\/em> is Iggy\u2019s 19th solo album and his first to be released via the recently announced partnership between Atlantic Records and Gold Tooth Records. His artistic output has been unrelenting and uniformly intense, from indelible Stooges staples Fun House<\/em> and Raw Power<\/em>, to solo classics including the brilliant 1977 double shot of his solo debut The Idiot<\/em> and the timeless Lust For Life, New Values, Blah-Blah-Blah, Brick by Brick, Skull Ring, Post Pop Depression<\/em> and most recently 2019\u2019s Free<\/em>. From proto-new wave to riotous alt rock, fans can look forward to the full Iggy Pop experience with classic hits and new favourites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blondie <\/strong>are undeniably one of the most trailblazing and influential bands of our time. Among their hits is the groundbreaking rock-disco hybrid \u2018Heart of Glass\u2019, the equally influential hip-hop fantasia \u2018Rapture\u2019, the stalker-love song \u2018One Way Or Another\u2019 and the lilting calypso \u2018The Tide Is High\u2019.  For the last four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a true global icon one whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outfit to bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us. Their chart-topping success fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and more than 40 million albums sold worldwide to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlondie and Iggy Pop\u2026 We are excited to reunite with our friend, the one and only Prince of Punk, Iggy, for this special show in Crystal Palace Park next summer. Once more, with feeling!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Generation X and the Sex Pistols are the defining names of first-wave British Punk. As genre-defining, counter-culture agitators the beloved bands\u2019 legacies are cemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generation Sex <\/strong>featuring Billy Idol<\/strong> and Tony James <\/strong>of Generation X and Steve Jones<\/strong> and Paul Cook<\/strong> of the Sex Pistols will make their first ever UK appearance<\/strong> at Crystal Palace Park playing a set of punk classics from both band\u2019s extensive catalogues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust every now and then we find time to get together with old pals from back in the day – purely just for the crack and to have fun. If it ain\u2019t fun then we ain\u2019t interested, life\u2019s too short. And it\u2019s a great bill with Iggy Pop and Blondie.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
