Killing Joke frontman Jaz Coleman delves into the story of the band’s past at Manchester Stoller Hall.
As the first festival in our world to make its triumphant return last year following the pandemic, Bloodstock Festival was a saving grace for so many people who had been starved of live music in the age of lockdowns.
Killing Joke have cultivated a great deal of mystery and equal parts of controversy over the years, mostly down to Jaz Coleman's interest in the occult and paranormal subjects, as anyone who has seen the “Death And Resurrection Show” documentary on Amazon, will attest.
This climax to their ‘Honour the Fire' tour is the band's first wanderings for three years and the first Killing Joke gig at the Hammersmith Apollo for over twelve years. The devil is in the detail.
Back in the early eighties with groups such as Spear of Destiny, The Alarm, Southern Death Cult, The Mission and Killing Joke you always knew that you were in for an energetic yet highly entertaining night out.
