Info
The Lilacs bring a stripped-back set and a signing to London, landing at Rough Trade East on 16 October 2026 to mark the release of their new album Keeping Up With The Joneses. Known for energetic indie rock built on straight-to-the-point guitars and big, singalong choruses, the Wigan quartet flips the usual volume down and puts the songs front and center.
Frontman Ollie Anglesea leads the band through a more intimate take on their sound, with Sam Birchall’s guitar work, Dave Gomersall’s drums and Matt Johnson’s bass reshaped for a closer-room feel. It’s a chance to hear how their anthemic writing holds up when the arrangement is stripped back, from the melodic punch that put them on the map with tracks like “Vicarage Road” to the newer material they’ve been taking across the UK live circuit. Expect a set that keeps the band’s live energy, just delivered with less noise and more detail.
