The Zipheads live in Hull

Experience The Zipheads live on June 27th

The Zipheads are scheduled to perform at The People’s Republic Bar in Hull, United Kingdom, on June 27, 2026. The Zipheads create music generally described as high-energy ska and reggae, often incorporating elements of punk and dub. Formed in the early 2000s, they are known for their lively stage presence and brass-heavy arrangements. They have released several albums independently and toured extensively across the UK festival circuit.

The People’s Republic Bar is a long-established live music venue located on Ferensway in Hull city centre. Originally opening in the 1980s, it gained prominence as a hub for alternative music and independent bands throughout the 1990s and continues to host a diverse range of acts. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere and focus on supporting emerging artists alongside established names. It features a relatively small capacity, fostering close interaction between performers and audiences. The bar itself maintains a distinctly unpretentious character and has become a significant part of Hull's cultural landscape, particularly following the city’s tenure as UK City of Culture in 2017.
