UK Calling

Event Description

Overview
Ontario's favourite 80s show, UK Calling, hit Kingston's Broom Factory for the very first time!

FOR THE KINGSTON KIDS WHO DUBBED MIXTAPES AND ROCKED THEIR DOCS.

For the first time ever, UK Calling is coming to Kingston.

After sold-out shows across Ontario, the band that’s been reigniting the sound and spirit of the UK underground finally makes its Kingston debut — live at The Broom Factory for one night only.

If you grew up flipping vinyl at Sam the Record Man, blasting CFNY, dubbing mixtapes, or skanking to 2 Tone, this show was made for you.

No costumes.No backing tracks.No tired ’80s greatest-hits routine.

Just the essential UK anthems — raw, urgent, and alive — delivered by a powerhouse band of Ontario’s top musicians, fronted by the electric Peter James Fox.

The Cure. The Clash. Joy Division. Tears for Fears. The Specials. Simple Minds. Madness.

The music that shaped you then — hit with full force right now.

“Just like the old CFNY — in the best way.” “Non-stop energy from the first song to the last.” “I don’t usually care about cover bands… UK Calling changed that.”

This isn’t dress-up nostalgia. It’s post-punk, New Wave, 2 Tone ska, and underground British attitude — played loud, tight, and with zero compromise.

If you’ve been waiting for a band like this to hit Kingston — this is the night.And if you’ve seen them elsewhere, you already know.
