LONDON CAMDEN DINGWALLS
THURSDAY 13 FEBRUARY 2025
MILLIE MANDERS AND THE SHUTUP have announced a headline date at Camden Dingwalls in London on Thursday 13 February following the recent release of their second album Wake Up, Shut Up, Work which reached the Top 3 in the UK Rock & Metal chart and the Top 10 in the UK Independent chart.
The Camden gig will feature a live horn section and string trio appearing as special guests throughout the evening. Tickets for the date will be available from 10.00 am on Wednesday 21 August from:
www.myticket.co.uk and www.millie-manders.com
The history and legacy of Camden Dingwalls simply cannot be overstated, with the likes of The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Strokes, The Foo Fighters, Blur, Oasis and Pulp all performing there over the years, and the band feel suitably privileged to have been invited to play this most iconic of venues, as Millie explains:
“Dingwalls is a legendary venue, and to be playing a show there with the backing of a set of incredible musicians is such an honour. The reaction to the new album has been nothing short of overwhelming and we are beyond excited to bring those songs to the stage.”
Wake Up, Shut Up, Work followed the band’s highly praised Telling Truths, Breaking Ties album debut, and was released earlier this month on CD, vinyl and on all major streaming and download platforms to unanimous and widespread acclaim:
PRAISE FOR WAKE UP, SHUT UP, WORK
“An explosion of sound accompanied by lyrics designed to wake your mind right up; MMATSU deserve to go stratospheric with this release” VIVE LE ROCK MAGAZINE 10/10
“Hewn from the human heart and soul and sung by someone that makes you feel their emotions as if they were your own. This could and should be the album that elevates MMATSU from punk heroes to household names” DEVOLUTION MAGAZINE
“Ultimately, what truly sets Wake Up, Shut Up, Work apart is the unflinching honesty; in a world grappling with political unrest, environmental concerns and social injustices, this album serves as both a rallying cry and a comforting embrace” POWERPLAY MAGAZINE 8/10
“It’s here, and what a glorious experience it is. There really is no one else like this band, as they fuse punk, ska and rock perfectly with horn sections, melodies, big guitars and a seething anger at all the absolute pricks out there. Yeah, we’ve all thought it but this lot shout about it” FIREWORKS MAGAZINE
“Arguably one of the greatest live acts the UK has ever produced. This will be, deservedly, a contender for Album of the Year in so many publications” WITH JUST A HINT OF MAYHEM
“Whether it’s the liberating joyfulness and cathartic energy of their live shows or the sincerity and openness of their music and lyricism, there’s no denying that the world needs MMATSU now more than ever” FANGRRRL
