In the Albany Arcade, Halifax Borough Market. Bar inside the venue.
We are delighted to welcome back to Halifax, the joyous uplifting sounds of Hope & Social. It's fair to say we go back some time with the band starting with the Doghouse. Gigs at Arden Rd, the Lake District, Doghouse Goes To Paris Gates..all very happy memories. In fractious times this evening fill your heart with love and warmth.
“Rousing, joyous” - The Guardian
"a big sound from this impressive outfit...inspired, anthemic, great" - Q magazine
“Brilliant, uplifting and inclusive. That was amazing, here’s your cheque”
- Michael Eavis, Glastonbury Festival
"Extraordinary songs, virtuoso performances,
beautiful moments and music hall bonhomie!"
- Tom Robinson, BBC6Music
Hope & Social and their blue-jacketed joyousness returns in 2026 with their trademark life affirming show to win over the hearts and minds of gig-goers across the land. Hope and Social gigs are an emotional rollercoaster mix of chaos and superlative musicianship, built on some of the finest songs you’ll ever hear, and garnished with generous portion of Northern, self deprecating humour. With a 3 piece horn section and 5 part harmonies, Hope and Social make a massive sound that draws influence from soul, indie, folk, disco and art rock. You’ll sing, you’ll dance, you’ll smile so much your face will hurt.
Continually striving to be the best band you’ll ever hear, playing it’s bloody socks off. Think Dexys. Think The Hold Steady. Bowie meets Bruce and the E Street Band. Think the grooviest, funnest bar band you can imagine!
Tickets: £19 members/full 21/22 on the door. Buy from the bar or See Tickets.
