London, we are extremely excited to announce that we will be reforming to play our first show in seventeen years at The Palladium on Friday, May 22nd 2026! Come all, old and young! This is not about nostalgia, this is about vindication, redemption and celebration. Presale starts on Wednesday December 3rd at 9am. If you sign up, you’ll receive an email with your presale link before then. We can’t wait to see you all there! Sign up here for early access to the presale: bit.ly/BlackBoxRecorder_Signup

Surprised at the lack of love for this. They were pretty good.

I do think the Palladium might be a bit ambitious though, maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder.

I never listened to anything other than The Facts of Life, despite really liking that. Maybe I will!

I did like their two albums back in the day (did they have more?). The support act, Pem, is quite nice too.

Three, I think.

Forgot this happened too.

Texted my mate from school who was a big fan back in the day and who now lives in Bangkok. He’s actually coming back to the UK for this show :rofl:

I think the last time I saw them was at the Luminaire, maybe?

That might have been Sarah Nixey solo, come to think of it.

Kinda feels like a cheap ticket special tbh

Think Luke Haines might be a graps fan

Just checked and The Facts Of Life is their sixth most played track on Spotify (it’s not in the top ten for some reason, I had to dig down), all those above it being from England Made Me.
