Hard-Fi announce first live show for eight years
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 25 April 2022
Hard-Fi have announced a one-off show at the Kentish Town Forum in London this autumn, which will be their first performance together since 2014.
“It’s fair to say it’s been a while since we’ve all played together so we’re all really excited to be getting on stage again and seeing some of our incredible fans”, says frontman Richard Archer.
“It’s a Saturday night”, he adds, “so hopefully we can recapture the spirit of those gigs back in the day. We may even throw out one or two new numbers into the mix. The Forum is one the classic venues to play, so it’s going to be a special night for everyone”.
Following their lengthy hiatus, Hard-Fi posted a photograph apparently in a rehearsal studio back in January, hinting that a reunion was on the cards.
Speaking about getting back together for their live return, Archer says: “It felt like the right time to get together and play our songs again”.
“Not only did people keep asking me when we were going to do a show”, he continues, “but I felt a lot of the things Hard-Fi did – both musically and lyrically – have really started to chime with what is going on right now. That sense of wanting to come together again and have a good time as a collective or community has always part of what Hard-Fi is about”.
The Forum show will take place on 1 Oct, with tickets going on sale on 29 Apr. As in the band’s heyday, support will come from DJ Wrong Tom.
