The Starjets came from Belfast and were formed during the heady days of the original punk explosion. Despite recording a host of singles they only had the one hit in the UK with War Stories, this was accompanied by an album, God Bless the Starjets around the same time. The band changed their name to Tango Brigade in 1980 but broke up soon after.
The Starjets reformed in 2019 and began performing again, their reputation boosted when War Stories was covered by Billie Joe Armstrong, acknowledging one of the prime influences on his own band, Green Day.
We are delighted to welcome them back to the London stage and In particular to The Fiddler’s Elbow
