Bristol’s most deliciously unhinged art‑punks Erotic Secrets of Pompeii are back to spread more beautifully blasphemous chaos across the UK this September, announcing a fresh run of headline dates alongside the arrival of their brand‑new single Crowstepper.
After a summer spent haunting festival stages with their trademark cocktail of theatrical menace and sardonic wit, the band are gearing up for another pilgrimage — one loaded with new compositions, extracurricular disobedience, and full‑strength Black Mass appeal.
The band’s 2026 run takes them deep into the nation’s alternative underbelly, hitting grassroots venues that thrive on sweat, noise and unfiltered energy:
Preston – The Ferret — 17 Sept
Huddersfield – Amped — 18 Sept
Stoke-on-Trent – Riff Factory — 19 Sept
Norwich – Dead Wax — 20 Sept
Swansea – Bunkhouse — 24 Sept
Leicester – Soundhouse — 25 Sept
Milton Keynes – The Crauford Arms — 26 Sept
Winchester – The Railway Inn — 27 Sept
Expect ritualistic grooves, serrated riffs, and the kind of communal catharsis that only this band can conjure. And yes — the Tombola of Doom returns. Get your tickets HERE
The band’s next sonic hex, ‘Crowstepper’, arrives this Thursday, promising another dose of their signature dark‑art alchemy. If their recent output is anything to go by, expect something sharp, theatrical, and dripping with post‑punk swagger. Fans can pre‑save the track now to ensure it swoops straight into their library the moment it drops.
Erotic Secrets of Pompeii have also opened the gates to their Patreon, offering exclusive access to studio diaries, videos, musings, and whatever other arcane artefacts they feel like unleashing. With “so many irons in the fire” and “future‑excitement” brewing, it’s the closest fans can get to the inner sanctum without signing their soul away.
Erotic Secrets of Pompeii continue to be one of the UK’s most compelling underground acts — theatrical, mischievous, and impossible to ignore. With a new single incoming and a September tour that promises sweat‑drenched communion, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for the cult favourites.
