Forty years ago, The Smiths released The Queen is Dead, an album that would come to define a generation. A ferocious blend of jangling guitars, mordant wit, and lyrical vulnerability, the 1986 record became a cultural touchstone - not just for the disaffected youth of the Thatcher era, but for anyone who ever felt out of step with the world. Now, in 2026, this legacy burns brighter than ever. To mark the album's 40th anniversary, The Smyths will play the album in full along with other Smiths classics and Morrissey solo favourites in a blistering 90 minute set, both at home and in their international shows.
