Get ready to witness rock history as Joan Jett & the Blackhearts return for their only UK headline show of 2026—their first in 16 years. From blowing the doors off the boys' club as a teenager to her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Joan Jett’s career has been defined by her status as a potent force in music.
With eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles—including the classics "Bad Reputation", "I Love Rock 'N' Roll", "I Hate Myself For Loving You", and "Crimson and Clover"—and a career spanning music, film, television, Broadway, and humanitarianism, she remains an inspiration to generations of fans worldwide.
