The Smyths & Billy Blagg at the Electric Palace (14+)

Bridport Electric Palace

THE SMYTHS PRESENT MEAT IS MURDER 40

2025 sees the 40h anniversary of The Smiths’ legendary second album “Meat is Murder”.

Arguably the band’s most controversial release (the band considered it as a protest album), not only did it do more than anything in pop culture to encourage a generation to become vegetarians, but it was also the first album to introduce Morrissey’s criticism of the Royal Family.

Coming a year on from the band’s debut, “Meat Is Murder” showed the band moving its musical might to a muscular new sound (whilst still maintaining it’s ability to produce heartbreakingly beautiful songs).

The Smyths present “Meat is Murder “in its entirety alongside Smiths classics and hits.

SUPPORT – Billy Blagg

Paying homage to Britain’s finest political troubadour, Billy Blagg performs an authentic solo set of the sociopolitical anthems and searing ballads that have made Billy Bragg an unsung national treasure. Interspersed with stories behind the songs, expect a career-spanning set with a focus on the early solo-guitar classics.
