About this Event
UK Calling Returns to Toronto — Friday, September 19 at The Rivoli
UK Calling is back, and this time they're bringing their biggest lineup yet. An expanded eight-piece band with a full horn section, delivering the sound of an era with more power than ever before.
The night begins with a full-throttle tribute to the golden age of 2 Tone Records—featuring the music of Madness, The Specials, The Beat, and The Selecter. These are the songs that defined a movement: politically sharp, musically fierce, and impossible not to dance to. From One Step Beyond to Ghost Town to Ranking Full Stop, expect a set that’s high-energy, high-impact, and anything but nostalgic karaoke.
In the second set, UK Calling goes deeper into the cooler corners of the 1980s. Think The Cure, Joy Division, Bronski Beat, The Style Council, Tears for Fears, and more. No fluff, no filler—just the music that shaped a generation, reimagined with the intensity and spirit it deserves.
You already know what UK Calling delivers: authenticity, musicianship, and energy that doesn’t let up. This is no retro cash-in. This is live music, done properly.
