Hot Box Chelmsford, 18 Jun 2026
Starting out as teenagers, before CITY DOG were even 18, they had already shared stages with Buzzcocks, Bob Vylan and The Wytches, and toured Europe with Surfbort — momentum that set the foundation for everything.
Their debut EP in 2024 sparked a sold-out UK headline tour, packed European shows, and an endorsement from Gibson after playing over 100 shows that year.
2025 has been their biggest leap yet. In August, City Dog released “I Might Die”, launching their two-week ‘I Might Die in Eastern Europe Tour,’ where they performed to 500 people a night. The came home and finished the year with back to back tours with Kid Kapichi, Pop Will Eat Itself, and The Wytches.
2026 has already begun with a sold out London headline gig, and UK and EU dates with Witch Fever, the release of “Big Star” and a sold out hometown special event with Kid Kapichi. The band plan to release new music before the summer with plenty of surprises ahead.
In support are HONEYBADGER, a Brighton trio tearing through the UK rock scene with a sound as raw and unrelenting as their name suggests. Brothers Eddy (vocals, guitar) and Joe (drums), with lifelong friend Luca (bass), channel punk ferocity, grunge grit, and alt-rock swagger into their high intensity shows and killer rock anthems.
