The Slates

The Slates play The Hairy Dog on Thursday 26 November, with doors opening at 7:00pm. They're the main feature of the night, and they've brought two support acts with them: The Mumbo Orchestra and Jack & Mal.

If you haven't come across them yet, The Slates are a Yorkshire four-piece who formed in 2019. They've spent the last few years building a name as one of the more energetic live bands on the UK indie scene, with their gigs described as loud, sweaty and guaranteed to sell out. They've played major festival stages, including The This Feeling Stage at Isle of Wight and The Pit at Y Not?.

They describe themselves as a young, rising indie-rock outfit passionate about songwriting and eager to get a crowd bouncing. That's a fair summary of what they're about: songs first, and a live show that doesn't hold back. With The Mumbo Orchestra and Jack & Mal opening the bill, there's plenty of music to get through before they take the stage.

The night is organised by Live and is restricted to over-16s, so if you're under 18 you'll need to be accompanied by an adult over 18 and show photo ID. Tickets are £13.20 including fees, which breaks down to £12.00 face value and a £1.20 booking fee. Doors open at 7:00pm at The Hairy Dog, 1 Beckett Street, Derby, DE1 1HT.
