🔥 The Spitfires live at The Horn, St Albans 🔥
📍 Saturday 21 November 2026
Formed in Watford and led by songwriter and frontman Billy Sullivan, The Spitfires have built a reputation as one of Britain’s most exciting modern guitar bands, blending mod, punk, ska and indie influences with sharp social commentary and explosive live performances.
Since emerging in 2015, the band have earned a fiercely loyal following across the UK and Europe through acclaimed albums including Response, Year Zero and Life Worth Living.
Last October saw the release of their latest album MKII — a bold new chapter for the band, capturing a refreshed and confident sound while retaining the urgency and melodic hooks that have defined The Spitfires from the very beginning. The album marked the return of the band with a revitalised line-up and a run of sold-out live shows.
Alongside growing international recognition, the band also appeared on legendary French TV music show Taratata, introducing their music to an even wider European audience and strengthening their connection with fans across the continent.
