20 years of The Kooks' Inside In / Inside Out and to celebrate, London had to be extra special. On July 31st the era-defining Indie band will perform at London's iconic Old Royal Naval College, UNESCO World Heritage Site - a unique chance to experience their anthemic live show in the grounds of one of the capital’s most spectacular settings.
Imagine singing the timeless "Naive", "Seaside", "Ohh La" & "She Moves In Her Own Way" framed by the River Thames and London’s skyline. This will be pure magic.
Luke Pritchard from The Kooks - "The Old Royal Naval College gig is going to be something else. I spent half my childhood running around Greenwich - my mum’s shop was literally a stone’s throw away. Those buildings, that riverside, it’s all tied up with my earliest memories of music and discovering who I wanted to be. To bring The Kooks back there now, to play in front of those iconic buildings where I used to daydream about being in a band feels surreal. See you there, can’t wait"
Joining The Kooks are Britain's legendary Circa Waves, known for their nervy, melodic indie rock. We can't wait to hear "T-Shirt Weather" on the Thames!
This date comes off the back of a sold out O2 Arena show for The Kooks and tickets will be in huge demand, for this 20 year celebration.

Circa Waves
Circa Waves was formed in Liverpool in 2013 by guitarist and singer Kieran Shudall, who'd decided to "knuckle down" and commit fully after spending years in no-hope garage bands. After writing a batch of songs he recruited guitarist Joe Falconer, bassist Sam Rourke, and drummer Sian Plummer (replaced by Colin Jones in 2015), and the band toured the UK & EU.
The reception they received for their debut instilled them with a sense of confidence and vigor which created a heavier, beefier sophomore record, 2017's Different Creatures.
The band's third full-length, What's It Like Over There? arrived in 2019, a top ten album, embraced a more nuanced pop sophistication. In early 2020, they delivered Sad Happy. It was the group's highest-charting effort to date at number 4.
Returning in 2023 with their fifth album, Never Going Under. Informed by Shudall's experience becoming a father, worries over climate change and the state of the world. It features the singles Hell On Earth, Do You Wanna Talk & Carry You Home and reached number 1 in the independent chart. Written in the pandemic and produced by Shuddall, it is their most comprehensive album to date, both thematically and musically.
