London’s vibrant punk scene is about to get a major boost as Millie Manders and The Shutup gear up for a headline show at the legendary Camden Dingwalls on Thursday, 13th February. This announcement comes hot on the heels of their second album, Wake Up, Shut Up, Work, which has stormed the UK Rock & Metal charts, reaching the Top 3, and also securing a spot in the Top 10 of the UK Independent chart.
A Night of Musical Brilliance in a Legendary Venue
The Camden gig promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring a live horn section and string trio who will make special appearances throughout the evening.
