Wednesday 15 April 2026. SUZI QUATRO live at The Palladium. Glam Rock legend ( now aged 75), returns to play this venue again on another UK tour. Suzi will.play all her classic hits and some tracks from her new album. Suzi Quatro 18th studio album, ' Freedom', was released on March 27, 2026. Produced by her son L.R. Tuckey for Chrysalis Records, the album features a collaboration with Alice Cooper on a cover of MC5's "Kick Out The Jams". The 12-track project marks a return to her Detroit rock roots. Suzi Quatro has sold over 55 million records worldwide throughout her five-decade career, which includes 18 studio albums and over 60 singles. Known as a pioneer female rocker, her major hits, including "Can the Can" and "Devil Gate Drive," which were number one UK hits in 1973 and 1974 respectively . ' Can the Can" alone sold 2.5 million copies worldwide . ' 48 Crash," "Daytona Demon," and "Devil Gate Drive" were also million-sellers. I have seen Suzi Q several times before including The Royal Albert Hall in 2022, and at The Palladium in 2023 , when Glen Matlock and Boy George joined her for a track in the 2 hour 10 mins show . Looks like this tour will be similar - two sets over two hours. -------------- Not sold out tonight , but the venue is very full. Lots of older folks here my age , who remember those great glam rock days of the 1970s, and seeing Suzi Quatro on Top Of The Pops in her leather jumpsuit. SUZI QUATRO was on stage for a nice long 2 hours 15 mins over two sets of 60 mins and 75 mins. Suzi had eight musicians on stage with her , including a three man brass section and two female backing singers/dancers. Suzi is around a tiny 5 foot tall these days , and her bass is nearly the same size as her. For the second half , Suzi wore her black leather jumpsuit . There is a big screen showing images of Suzi career at the start of both sets , which she has shown at previous shows. Suzi has plenty of nice stage banter , and tells us she played this venue in 1999 when Michael Aspel surprised her with the 'This Is Your Life' red book, and how Mickie Most took her to London back in 1971. Suzi said she had put out eight books, and mentioned her acting career , including Happy Days and that great Suzi Q documentary. Suzi introduced BRUCE WELSH from the stage as he was in the crowd. Suzi said she has now been in the music biz for 62 years, and is still rockin'. All the crowd were up and dancing from Can the Can onwards. A great show as usual from Suzi Quatro.

KIM GORDON live at Shepherds Bush Empire Kim Gordon is an American musician, singer and songwriter best known as the bassist, guitarist, and vocalist of alternative rock band Sonic Youth. Kim Deal will be 64 when she plays this show . This is her only UK show on her six date UK & European tour to promote her latest solo album ' Play Me'. -------------- Level 3 is closed tonight, but other levels look pretty full. A cool looking crowd are here for these two art rock bands. Lots of accents from mainland Europe are here. LONNIE GUNN arrived on stage at 8pm for her 30 mins set. Five musicians on stage, with some nice vocals from Lonnie. KIM GORDON arrived on stage at 9.05 for her 70 mins set. Four musicians on stage , and a big screen showing pre-recorded images. Kim is a seminal figure in art rock and alternative music, blurring lines between noise music, fashion, and visual art. Her career spans decades, characterised by an avant-garde approach and experimental industrial noise. The best tracks were the loud ones , with a nifty distorted and fuzzy guitar noise. 20 tracks played with many under three minutes long. The first 12 tracks were the new album , a highlight from it was ' Dirty Tech'. Later on an oldie ' Paprika Pony' was good. Not much stage chat from Kim , apart from a couple of thank you's. No Sonic Youth tracks were played. Too cool to do an encore , even though on stage for only 70 mins. A good show.
