The 113 + guests

We're pretty excited to be bringing the acerbic dark cloud intensity of Leeds' The 113 to Bedford. A mix of Fontaines, vintage Bad Seeds and an avalanche.

The 113’s sound is visceral, spitting emotionally charged melodies that hit hard yet move bodies. Though firmly rooted in punk traditions, the band draws inspiration from hip‑hop’s lyrical approach, blending raw storytelling with driving force.

Known for their energetic live shows, they have attracted interest from notable national and international festivals, Live at Leeds, Wanderlust Festival, Left of The Dial, Misty Fields Festival, Supersonic's 'Block Party'. Along with the support from Steve Lamacq and BBC Radio 6, The 113 have already notched up several impressive support slots with acts including Egyptian Blue, CHALK and Temples, as well as embarking on a huge EU and UK tour through the summer of 2025 with sold out shows in across the continent.

Their debut EP ‘To Combat Regret’ builds on their post‑punk foundations adding more grit and maturity to their sound. Critics have praised its tight pacing and sonic consistency, noting that every track reinforces the band’s core aesthetic with precision and purpose.
