Support comes from Penetration and The Skids – it will be the latter’s “last full band electric show for the foreseeable future”. The evening will be compered by Paul Morley.

“I’m looking forward to an amazing show at London’s Royal Albert Hall,” says Buzzcocks’ Steve Diggle. “It’s going to be the perfect setting for us and our fans to pay tribute to Pete Shelley.”
