BUZZCOCKS who will be celebrating their 50th anniversary! Fronted by original guitarist and songwriter - Steve Diggle, Buzzcocks are without doubt one of the most influential and forward thinking bands to emerge from the late 70s punk scene. Their string of phenomenal chart hits; Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldntve), Orgasm Addict, Everybodys Happy Nowadays, and Promises, along with their classic albums; Another Music in a Different Kitchen, Love Bites and A Different Kind of Tension, established them at the forefront of British music. Buzzcocks have always been about innovation, experimentation and taking risks. 50 years on their legacy continues to grow as they tour the globe and release their 11th studio album - Attitude Adjustment. Come join us celebrating this truly exceptional band, on a truly beautiful and unique vessel. All while sailing the Thames and taking in London's historic sights.
