Grunge tribute act from Gloucester plays hits from Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Nirvana and Soundgarden at the Gloucester Guildhall.
Sounds of Seattle play Gloucester Guildhall on Saturday 30 January 2027, with support from Bad Rosie. It's a grunge tribute night, and the headliners are a local act — a Gloucester band made up of professional touring musicians Andy Dempster, Eddie Kendrick, James Biddle, James Wragg and Mark Allen. They've been playing together since 2019, so they've had a few years to get the set tight.
What they do is pretty straightforward: a two-and-a-half-hour show built around a 30-track set list of the biggest hits from the Seattle scene that shaped the 90s and 00s. That covers Pearl Jam, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, so it's a fair bit of ground to cover in one night. They describe it as a high-octane, authentic show, and with thirty songs on the list, they're not just skimming the surface — it's a full evening of those bands rather than a few highlights. Bad Rosie opens the night, so there's a support act to warm things up before the main set kicks in.

If you want to see what they're actually playing before you commit, the band keeps their current set list, photos and recordings up at www.soundsofseattleuk.com, which is a handy way to check if your favourites are on there. It's a local band playing a local venue, and with the set list spanning six of the biggest names from that era, it's a long night of grunge. The show runs from 7:45pm to 11:30pm at Gloucester Guildhall, 23 Eastgate St, and tickets are £18.
