Glastonbury rockers Reef play The Drill on Free School Lane, with support from These Wicked Rivers.
Reef play The Drill on Thursday 22 October, with These Wicked Rivers opening. It's a night that puts the Glastonbury rockers back in the city, and they're arriving with a fair bit of momentum behind them.
Their latest album, Shoot Me Your Ace, was produced by Duran Duran's Andy Taylor and pushed them back into the UK Top 20. Since it came out, they've opened for the Rolling Stones at their Olympic Stadium show in Munich, headlined the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury, and toured with Deep Purple. It's a run that places them firmly back in the live circuit, and this Lincoln date is part of that same energy.
The line-up they're touring with keeps original members Gary Stringer on vocals and Jack Bessant on bass, joined by drummer Luke Bullen — who has played with Bryan Ferry, Joe Strummer and K.T. Tunstall — and North Devon guitarist Amy Newton. If you've seen them recently, you'll know the set doesn't just stick to the new material; their live version of Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain' is one of the things fans point to as a standout.

The Drill is a room of around 500 capacity on Free School Lane, so it's a relatively small space for a band that's been playing stadiums and festival stages this year. Doors open at 19:00, and tickets are £38.50 for general admission standing, including fees, with a £3.50 booking fee on top. It's a 14+ show, and under-16s need an adult with them.
