‘Punk and New Wave pioneers The Godfathers are coming in 2027 with a brand-new album!’
Formed in London in 1985, the band quickly made an international name for themselves with their distinctive sound and songs such as Birth, School, Work, Death. Led by frontman Peter Coyne, The Godfathers are regarded as one of the most influential British rock bands of their generation, with countless rock, punk and alternative bands citing them as a major influence. To this day, they continue to combine their musical roots with an unwavering passion for performing live.
Following a series of partly sold-out shows and phenomenal reviews in 2025, The Godfathers are finally returning to tour UK & Europe. Alongside classic hits such as Birth, School, Work, Death, I Want Everything and Cause I Said So, the band will also be bringing their first new album in five years on the road! An absolute must-see for fans of punk rock, alternative rock and New Wave!
With a ton load of history embedded in Bedford Rock and Roll folklore inc classic gigs at Polhill College, the long gone Bedford Boys Club, the GIC and numerous date at Esquires this is the bands first visit to Bedford since 2018, some 9 years ago !
Special guest support comes from the The WitchDoktors. Last seen at Esquires playing a packed out show with Soho Dukes.
