Squeeze plus Very Special Guest Billy Bragg

Squeeze, the English new wave band formed in London in 1974, perform at The O2 with Billy Bragg as very special guest. The concert is a pop, rock and indie night.

Squeeze were formed in London in 1974 and signed to A&M Records, recording through the late 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s and the 2010s. Their work sits within the English new wave tradition, combining melodic pop songwriting with sharp, direct arrangements. The band's catalogue spans several decades, which makes the group a reference point for listeners who followed British pop from the late 1970s onward.

Billy Bragg is billed as very special guest on this date. Bragg is a singer-songwriter whose work blends folk, rock and political commentary, and who has been recording and performing in the UK for several decades. The billing places the two acts together on one bill, with Bragg's set preceding or accompanying the headline appearance by Squeeze.

The O2 is a large multi-purpose arena on the Greenwich peninsula in south-east London, and it hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The night suits listeners interested in British new wave and in singer-songwriter material, and anyone wanting to hear two long-standing English acts on one bill.
