POST/PUNK PIONEERS ANNOUNCE SUMMER SHOW @
HOLMFIRTH PICTUREDROME

TICKETS ON SALE NOW HERE

Pioneering post/punk band - CHAMELEONS - will be coming to Holmfirth Picturedrome this Summer.

Formed in Greater Manchester in 1981 by singer and bassist Mark Burgess, Chameleons have remained one of the city’s most revered bands among musos ever since their inception. With notable fans including the likes of Noel Gallgher to Interpol, The Charlatans to Moby, their music has been passed down through the generations like an elixir of eternal inspiration. And here in 2024, a growing fandom of their immense canon sees Chameleons finding immortality as something of a cult phenomenon.

With their dedicated advocates finding awe in the “sonic cathedrals” in which they have constructed over the past four decades, Chameleons have released four iconic studio albums (‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically’(1985), ‘Strange Times’(1986) and latterly ‘Why Call It Anything’ (2001)), plus many Peel sessions, live records, compilations and an EP (‘Tony Fletcher Walked on Water.... La La La La La-La La-La-La’ (1990)). Shimmering, shadowy, and shrouded in deepest mysteries, their distinctive and towering post-punk songs sound as vital today as the moment they were built.

With live demand for the band at an all time high, Chameleons will be stepping-up to their latest tour with an incendiary setlist in mind. Expect a broad, career-spanning collection of classics plus new material from their forthcoming album ‘Arctic Moon’ (due out on Metropolis Records later this year) at their Holmfirth show.

The live band for these dates will feature Mark Burgess (bass / vox), Reg Smithies (guitar), Todd Demma (drums), Danny Ashbury (keyboards), and Stephen Rice (guitar).

CHAMELEONS - WILL PLAY @ HOLMFIRTH PICTUREDROME - FRIDAY 30 AUGUST 2024
