If your idea of a perfect Christmas involves power chords, flying drumsticks, and a ukulele-wielding frontman serenading you in multiple languages — then rejoice, because Spike and the Gimme Gimmes are sleighing their way across the UK this December with their “All I Want For Christmas Is You” tour.
From December 9th to 20th, the punk supergroup will be decking the UK’s halls (and venues) with a riotous blend of festive covers, punk classics, and pure holiday mayhem. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just looking to swap carols for chaos, this tour promises to be the most fun you’ll have in a Santa hat.
The band’s latest single, a punked-up take on “All I Want For Christmas Is You”, drops November 21st via Fat Wreck Chords. It’s available digitally and as a limited-edition red flexi disc tucked inside a glorious 2026 calendar — the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who prefers their holidays loud and fast.

Spike Slawson: The multilingual, ukulele-strumming frontman whose charisma could melt the North Pole.

Andrew “Pinch” Pinching: Former drummer of The Damned, bringing thunder from sleepy Grantham-town.
Jake Kiley: Strung Out’s axe-slinger, armed with a hot pink Jackson and feline ferocity.
