Buzzcocks

About this event

Buzzcocks — Celebrating 50 Years with Grade 2 + Special Guest TBA Friday, November 6th, 2026 Airport Tavern Music Hall — Tacoma, WA 7PM Doors | 8PM Show | 21+ Fifty years of razor-sharp guitars, massive hooks and punk rock that still sounds like it was wired directly into a live electrical outlet. Manchester legends Buzzcocks return to Airport Tavern Music Hall for a special night celebrating five decades of one of punk’s most influential catalogs. Since forming in 1976, Buzzcocks have perfected the collision of speed, melody, heartbreak and attitude—delivering timeless anthems like “Ever Fallen in Love,” “What Do I Get?” and “Orgasm Addict” while influencing generations of punk, indie and alternative bands along the way. This is not a quiet victory lap. Buzzcocks remain a fierce, fast and vital live band, ripping through the classics alongside music from their latest chapter as they celebrate 50 years of doing things entirely their own way. Joining them are Grade 2, the hard-charging punk trio from England’s Isle of Wight. Signed to Hellcat Records, Grade 2 bring stripped-down, street-level punk ’n’ roll packed with pounding rhythms, shout-along choruses and the kind of restless energy built for sweaty rooms and raised fists. A special guest will be announced soon. Five decades of punk history. Three bands. One loud Friday night in Tacoma. Buzzcocks are back. Don’t miss it.
