From the Jam

On 8 November 2026 at O2 Academy Bournemouth, From the Jam brings the sharp, melodic punch of late-70s mod revival back to the stage. Rooted in the legacy of The Jam, the set leans into taut rhythms, front-and-center basslines and concise storytelling that caught everyday British life in crisp detail. From the early rush of In the City and This Is the Modern World to the more sculpted lines of All Mod Cons, Setting Sons, Sound Affects and The Gift, these songs move fast but make room for soul and pop inflections, echoing 60s beat music, Motown and R&B.

Crisp guitars, tight arrangements and choruses built to be shouted together. It’s music that balances bite and melody, direct and economical, with just enough swing to keep the room on its toes. In Bournemouth, the night reconnects with a catalogue that still lands close to the bone: short, sharp anthems, observational lyrics and that mod pulse. From the Jam channels the energy and craft that made those tracks endure, skipping the frills and going straight to the point.
