THE SMYTHS – ‘MEAT IS MURDER’ at 40 + Hits & More + Guests
Roadmender 1 Lady's Ln, NorthamptonWe are very pleased to announce The Smyths are returning to The Roadmender Northampton on Sat 8th November 2025 following their packed out at the venue in 2024. 2025 sees the 40th anniversary of The Smiths a legendary second album Meat is Murder. Arguably the bands most controversial release (the band considered it as a protest album), not only did it do more than anything in pop culture to encourage a generation to become vegetarians, it was the first album to introduce Morrisseys criticism of the Royal Family. Coming a year on from the bands debut, Meat Is Murder showed the band moving its musical might to a muscular new sound (whilst still maintaining its ability to produce heart-breaking beautiful songs). The Smyths presents Meat is Murder a show that will celebrate the album alongside a full collection of classic hits and more from The Smiths.
