English rock band Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats will be performing their new album, Nell’ Ora Blu in its entirety in our hauntingly beautiful Victorian Theatre in January 2025.

15 years on from their shadowy formation in Cambridgeshire, England, Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats stand alone as one of the most idiosyncratic and eccentric bands ever to emerge from the post-Sabbathian realm, Kevin Starrs’ enigmatic crew have built a reputation on music that defies categorisation. With a sound that has variously plundered from classic doom, psychedelia, garage rock and underground, occult heaviness, they have consistently evolved and mutated, with invariably gripping results.

Now they have returned with an ambitious colossus of a new record: Nell’ Ora Blu. A fully-fledged, cinematic feast, partly inspired by the dark magic of Italy’s Giallo film movement, but drawn directly from Starrs’ own foul and fearless imagination, the new album is entirely unlike anything the band have done before.

“It will be a unique experience for the band and audience. People can come in from the cold, sit down in an old theatre seat and get fully immersed while we drag them to another time and place. To play an album all the way through in such amazing theatres is something we’ve never done before. It’s also something I don’t plan on doing again, so we’re going to fully enjoy it!” – Kevin Starrs
