Fightstar will play their biggest ever headline show – and their first gig in over eight years, celebrating the band’s 20th anniversary – at the OVO Arena Wembley on March 22.
Fronted by Busted’s Charlie Simpson, the group landed their UK Top 10 breakthrough, Paint Your Target, back in 2005 and scored a pair of Top 20 albums with ‘Be Human’ (2009) and ‘Behind The Devil’s Back’ (2015).
It’s been a minute but there aren’t many days that go by without me being asked when Fightstar will do another show. Now you know! 22nd March 2024. I am so looking forward to this, it will be a very special evening. X Pre-sale opens Wednesday at 9am. – https://t.co/CI8seaZlke 💥 pic.twitter.com/PX8EC53xst

Almost a decade since they last performed together, the group – also starring Alex Westaway (guitar), Dan Haigh (bass) and Omar Abidi (drums) – will take the stage in London next spring to celebrate their latest milestone.
“Next year marks 20 years since Fightstar played our first show in a tiny nightclub in Northampton, mainly in front of friends and family,” says Charlie. “To be sat here today about to play our biggest ever headline show at London’s legendary Wembley Arena is something that is hard for us to comprehend.
“We are so thankful to all our fans who have been so loyal to us and we can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with them. This will be a very special night for all of us.”
Tickets go on sale 9am GMT on Friday, November 10 here. The band will be joined by special guests Twin Atlantic and Loathe for the show.
