Liverpool’s Red Rum Club returns to the Twin Cities, playing the 7th Street Entry, on May 11, 2026.
We previously saw Red Rum Club in May 2024 and said, “The first thing that hits you is that Red Rum Club is a very large band, featuring lead vocalist Francis Doran, guitarist Tom Williams, second guitarist Michael McDermott, bassist Simon Hepworth, drummer Neil Lawson, and trumpeter Joe Corby. They struggled to fit everyone on the small Turf Club stage, and might occasionally bump into each other while dancing. I think they just need to be on a bigger stage. Based on antics and observation, you can tell that these guys have grown up together or spent a lot of time together. According to their biography, they most of them met from school and then when they were 14 years old and inspired to start a band after a Battle of the Bands competition. If you didn’t know the band’s name Red Rum Club, came from Stephen King’s The Shining (popularized by the Stanley Kubrick film adaption).”
Joan of Profile to open. We just recently saw them in April 2026.

King Tuff at Turf Club (May 12, 2026)
May 12, 2026 Tuesday
King Tuff
at Turf Club
first-avenue.com
Vermont’s King Tuff (Kyle Thomas) returns to the Turf Club on May 12, 2026. His latest MOO is out now on his new label MUP Records via Thirty Tigers.
We previously saw King Tuff in April 2023 and said, “It’s the final stretch for Vermont’s King Tuff. After spending over a month on the road, the band looks like seasoned road warriors (but still impeccably dressed – even in Wizard costume as Kyle would wear near the end of their set). King Tuff is basically Kyle Thomas, who writes and record all the songs for King Tuff’s music. When not in Tuff, he’s the singer/guitarist for Witch, and also one of the all-star Ty Segall’s backing band The Muggers, which we saw in Mar 2016, and wrote, “Before we talk about Ty’s exceptional musical output, we have talk about his all-star supergroup The Muggers. As we previously mentioned, his band consisted of King Tuff’s Kyle Thomas (dressed in an orange jumpsuit), singer/guitarist Mikal Cronin, Cairo Gang’s Emmett Kelly, and Wand’s Cory Hanson and Evan Burrows. With only a few dates on this current tour, the band sounded incredibly tight and well-rehearsed (even when they were improvising on stage).””
