The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless play O2 Victoria Warehouse on 29 November 2026. Formed in New York in the late 2000s around singer and guitarist Taylor Momsen, the quartet — with Ben Phillips on guitar, Mark Damon on bass and Jamie Perkins on drums — forges a dark-tinged rock that blends hard rock drive, post-grunge textures and a taste for classic sounds. Their debut Light Me Up set the template with thick riffs, straight melodies and a gothic touch. Going to Hell and Who You Selling For pushed a bluesier side without losing the punch of concise, radio-ready hooks. In 2021, Death by Rock and Roll leaned into a more introspective vein, circling themes of grief and survival while keeping the focus on choruses that stick and guitars that bite.

On stage, the band moves between abrasive energy and slower, moody passages, carried by Momsen’s gravelly voice and lyrics that weave disillusion, faith and desire. Expect a set that draws across their catalogue, from early staples to recent cuts, where weighty riffs, hooky refrains and a classic rock backbone keep the tension tight from start to finish.
