So happy to see Suburban Toys getting involved with the Music Venue Trust Everywhere at Once Festival...at the ace The People's Republic in Hull...🤗

Rock'n'Roll punks & Lincolnshire ska-punk band play TPR for a one off show for Everywhere At Once Festival.

Tickets are on sale from 9AM tomorrow from Eventbrite. Get in early as this will sell out. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-zipheads-suburban-toys-tickets-1989172323968?aff=oddtdtcreator

The Zipheads play Rock'n'Roll infused with punk, taking influence from the founding fathers of the 1950s like Little Richard and Chuck Berry, via the punk and new wave heroes of the 70s such as The Clash and Elvis Costello, along the way encompassing surf, swing, soul, country, folk, ska and reggae as well as most other types of music you could care to imagine into the mix.

To date, they have released 3 full-length albums, one instrumental EP and a handful of singles and have performed live at venues and festivals all over the UK and Europe as well as appearances in the USA.

They are supported by Suburban Toys, an original punk ska band from Lincoln.

This is part of Music Venue Trust's Everywhere At Once Festival. Taking place on what would have been the Glastonbury Festival weekend of June 26 to 28, 2026, hundreds of Grassroots Music Venues across the country will unite for Everywhere At Once. For one extraordinary weekend, venues from Inverness to Penzance will host hundreds of major artists, touring acts and the most exciting emerging local talent in the spaces that have launched generations of musicians. This will enable audiences to experience a diverse, curated programme of live music in the intimate rooms that are the heartbeat of their neighbourhoods.

Just in case you've not seen anything about the Music Venue Trust 'Everywhere at once' initiative...have a read and see if you can get involved...✊

Apply to perform at the UK’s biggest ever multi-location festival this summer by speaking to your local venue.

Everywhere At Once is organised by your very own local spaces, not a central promoter. The venues taking part are in charge of their own line-ups, so they can represent their communities properly. We’re not steering who gets booked.

And if your local venue isn’t one of the 800+ already involved, then get in touch with them and help make it happen!

"This is a hugely significant moment for the grassroots music sector. Seeing hundreds of venues come together across one weekend shows the true strength and scale of the network that underpins live music in the UK. Thanks to the support from The National Lottery, Everywhere At Once can pair visibility with meaningful, practical support, putting real investment directly into venues while amplifying their collective voice. Together, this sends a clear message: live music doesn’t just happen in major cities or festival fields - it happens on our high streets, in our towns, and in the spaces communities rely on. This is what solidarity looks like in action, and it sets a powerful benchmark for what we can achieve when venues move forward together." - Mark Davyd, CEO of MVT

A massive well done to the three 2025 Rock
Open bands that performed last night at the legendary The New Adelphi Club...think
it's fair to say that they all 'smashed it' 💪

Future Theory Suburban Toys The Dominos

Many thanks to all the Adelphi staff...you made us all feel very welcome...and extra thanks to sound man Jim (and his colleague on lighting), all the bands commented on the great sound 🤗

Hopefully we can do it all again next year with three bands from the 2026 competition...
