TV Smith & The Adverts : Live in Australia 2026 (UK)

One of UK punks original voices, Smith has spent decades proving that intelligence and bite are not mutually exclusive.

As frontman of The Adverts, he helped define late-70s punk with songs that were sharp, political, and stubbornly melodic. Those tracks still land hard, not because of nostalgia, but because the ideas never went soft.

His solo work strips things back further. Acoustic, direct, and unsentimental. Lyrics first, always. No filler. No theatrics. Just songs built to say something and actually mean it.

Live, Smith is exact and unsparing, the stories between songs are as pointed as the music itself. You are not there to be comforted. You are there to listen.

This run of  shows suits anyone who values substance over volume and words over noise. A proper punk songwriter in an intimate room, doing what he has always done.

Supported on Geelong Leg of the tour by special guests Handgrenade Hearts
