UK SUBS Final Ever Show

A farewell concert by UK Subs, the punk band, at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in London, billed as the final show of their career. Support comes from Subhumans and GBH.

UK Subs formed in London in 1976 and are among the longest-running bands of the British punk movement, with a catalogue built on fast, melodic guitar-driven songs and a strong singles tradition. Their line-up has changed over the decades, with Charlie Harper the long-standing frontman, and their sound has been associated with the wider punk scene of the late 1970s and after.

Subhumans, from Wells in Somerset, emerged from the UK punk and hardcore scene at the start of the 1980s, and GBH, from Birmingham, is one of the best-known street punk and hardcore bands of that era. Both acts bring a related lineage of British punk to the bill alongside the headliners.

O2 Shepherds Bush Empire is a music venue in west London that hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. The evening is aimed at long-standing punk fans marking the end of the band's touring history, as well as those who have followed the scene across its different generations.
