REM by @stiperemtribute - Courtyard Show
Alexander's Live, Chester. Saturday 20 June 2026
tickets sold here : /event/rem-by-stipe-courtyard-show/alexander-s-live/3442322
tipe are recognised as the definitive tribute to R.E.M., the band from Athens, Georgia who are widely credited as pioneers of alternative rock, influencing countless bands who would follow, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Radiohead.
R.E.M remain a model for young musicians everywhere: a band who always did things on their own terms, a band committed to doing the right thing for each other (such as splitting royalties equally), and never compromising on their artistic independence. They called it a day, on their own terms, in 2011, and have repeatedly ruled out ever reuniting.
Having played to tens of thousands of people all over the UK and Europe, and not least to Michael Stipe himself on the ‘One Show’ (Michael described them as ‘awesome’), Stipe are a professional six-piece, who, as huge fans of the band, take the music (if not themselves) seriously.

Alexander's Live hosts a night of post-punk, goth rock and reverb-soaked alternative music as Liverpool-based outfit The Nocturnal headline in Chester this June.
Blending dark 80s-inspired basslines with a modern post-punk edge, The Nocturnal have been making noise across Northern venues including Rough Trade Liverpool and Little Buildings Newcastle. Their upcoming debut album An Infinity Of What Should've Been explores loss, regret, bitterness and the lingering question of "what if?" through haunting melodies and sharp songwriting.
Support comes from Chester's own Red Seas - a self-produced four-piece mixing the reverb-heavy textures of 60s surf and garage rock with the grit of 90s alternative. Their deliberate lo-fi sound and debut single Soda Bath make them one of the North West's most promising emerging acts.
Expect driving basslines, dark melodies, shoegaze textures and alternative music till late.
