🎶 eXTC 'This Is Pop' Greatest Hits Tour 2026 - Esquires, Bedford
Time: 19:00
Emerging out of the post-punk and new-wave explosion of the late 70s, XTC experienced global success touring with the likes of The Police and Talking Heads. Sadly, their legions of loyal fans would be left in limbo when in 1982 XTC stopped touring, becoming a studio-based entity.
EXTC were formed in 2019 by XTC's drummer Terry Chambers, performing classic XTC material such as Making Plans For Nigel, Senses Working Overtime, Mayor of Simpleton, Generals and Majors, Sgt. Rock (Is Going To Help Me), Love on a Farmboy's Wages and many more.
An AGMP Concerts presentation.
Don't miss this incredible opportunity to hear the music of XTC played live by the man who helped create their unique sound. Whether you were there during the new-wave explosion or discovered their studio mastery later, this is a night for true music fans in Bedfordshire.
