The Fratellis - Celebrating 20 Years of Costello Music

The Fratellis celebrate 20 years of Costello Music in Bristol on 4 March 2027 at The Prospect Building. Formed in Glasgow in 2005, the trio of Jon, Baz and Mince Fratelli honed a direct blend of indie rock, garage bite and power pop, built on tight guitars, catchy choruses and a swing drawn from classic British rock. Their debut Costello Music (2006) set the tone with Chelsea Dagger, Whistle for the Choir and a run of brisk, melodic tracks that carried them from clubs to major festival stages.

This anniversary show puts that first record back under the lights, revisiting its rowdy riffs and quieter turns with the punch and melodic clarity that define the band. The set also opens onto the years since their hiatus and return, drawing on We Need Medicine, Eyes Wide, Tongue Tied, In Your Own Sweet Time and Half Drunk Under a Full Moon. Two decades in, The Fratellis keep the formula lean: songs that hit fast, harmonies that stay in your head, and a rhythm section that drives it all forward. Support to be announced.
