Info
On 17 October 2026 at The Brook, Southampton, Republica revisit the pulse that made their self‑titled debut a 90s fixture. Led by Saffron, the band’s set leans into that collision of fuzzed guitars and club‑ready beats, with Ready to Go as the spark. Formed around keyboardists Tim Dorney and Andy Todd before adding guitarist Johnny Male and drummer Dave Barbarossa, Republica forged a line between indie‑dance and alternative rock that still hits with a clean, kinetic drive. This anniversary tour reconnects with the album’s sharp hooks and rhythmic punch, reworked onstage with the direct, catchy bite that defined their breakthrough.
Trampolene join with a raw, melodic strain of indie rock that leaves room for spoken word and quieter detours. Fronted by songwriter and poet Jack Jones, alongside Wayne Thomas and Kyle “Mr” Williams, the trio switch between driving guitars and stripped‑back moments, letting lyrics track everyday pressures, love and grit. From Swansea roots to London stages, their live set balances urgency and detail, setting up Republica’s return with a tight, unvarnished energy.
