Fightstar is set to play its first live show in 8 years as the band confirms a headline show at OVO Arena Wembley on 22nd March 2024.
Their biggest headline show to date, the band will celebrate 20 years together. Fightstar still consists of its original line-up – Charlie Simpson (vocals/guitar), Alex Westaway (guitar), Dan Haigh (bass) and Omar Abidi (drums) – who formed the band to explore their shared passion for influences such as Deftones, Taking Back Sunday, Silverchair and Mono.
Simpson says, “Next year marks 20 years since Fightstar played our first show in a tiny night club in Northampton, mainly in front of friends and family. To be sat here today about to play our biggest ever headline show at London’s legendary Wembley Arena is something that is hard for us to comprehend. We are so thankful to all our fans who have been so loyal to us and we can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with them. This will be a very special night for all of us.”
Tickets for the show will go on sale from 9am GMT this Friday, 10th November and the band will be joined by special guests Twin Atlantic and Loathe for the show.
Fightstar debuted in 2005 with the EP ‘They Liked You Better When You Were Dead’, which they followed with four albums: ‘Grand Unification’ (2006), ‘One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours’ (2007), ‘Be Human’ (2009) and ‘Behind The Devil’s Back’ (2015).
