Info
On 9 October 2026 at Saint Luke's & The Winged Ox in Glasgow, Joe Jackson plays a set that spans his catalogue. Trained at the Royal Academy of Music, he broke through in 1979 with Look Sharp!, followed by I’m the Man and Beat Crazy. Night and Day in 1982 carried Steppin’ Out into the charts, and he kept exploring: Body and Soul, Big World, then classical and orchestral projects, before returning to the band format with Volume 4 and Rain, and later Fast Forward, Fool and What a Racket!.
Live, Jackson keeps the piano at the centre and lets the songs lead. Tight rhythms, direct melodies, lyrics that go straight to the point: he moves from punchy pop and new wave edges to more spacious, jazz-coloured moods with ease. The set pulls from early singles to recent pieces, connecting the dots across four decades without nostalgia, and showing how his writing still shifts shape on stage.
