The Horne Section return with their 2027 tour 'Six Absolute Helmets', pairing five musicians with Alex Horne, the Taskmaster creator, for new songs and jokes.
The Horne Section are back at Connexin Live on Wednesday 10 March 2027, with their new tour Six Absolute Helmets. It's their first run of dates since two sold-out years on the road, and this one comes with a fresh set of songs and jokes.
If you've never seen them, the format is pretty straightforward: five musicians backed by Alex Horne, the creator and co-host of Taskmaster, who takes the role of the non-musical stand-up. The Guardian once called them 'Britain's Funniest Band', and they've built a fair bit of a CV around that. They've had two series of their own Channel 4 show, an iTunes-chart-topping podcast, and appearances on The Last Leg, Peter Crouch's Year-Late Euros and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. They're also the only band to ever host Never Mind The Buzzcocks.
And the musicians aren't just playing for the comedy. Between them, they've worked with Oasis, Robbie Williams, Madness, Florence and the Machine, Amy Winehouse, George Ezra, Basement Jaxx, Disclosure and Noel Gallagher's High-Flying Birds. On this tour, the line-up is Alex Horne, Ben Reynolds, Ed Sheldrake, Joe Auckland, Mark Brown and Will Collier.

As for what actually happens on stage, they're promising all-new songs and jokes, questionable choreography and an unnecessary amount of mucking about. It's a brand-new show for 2027, so it's not just a repeat of the last couple of years. The show starts at 20:00, with doors opening about half an hour before.
