From the Jam at Stafford

About this event

From The Jam have announced a major UK tour for Spring 2026, marking 20 years since their formation.

The band was formed naturally in 2004 by Russell Hastings with two thirds of the original line-up featuring Rick Buckler (The Jam) and Bruce Foxton (The Jam). The band have toured extensively worldwide and even to this day playing to adoring fans worldwide including the original fans – and of course younger ones – being brought up on The Jam's music.

Russell and the guys are known for not trying to be like Paul, Bruce and Rick, but magically they sound identical and with as much passion as the guys produced in those five years from '77 through to '82.

Rick left the band in 2010 to pursue other projects leaving both Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings to form forces with Mark Brzezicki from Big Country on drum duties. It was around this time that the first 'Foxton and Hastings’ album was born. Back In The Room recorded at Paul Weller’s Black Barn Studios and also featuring Paul Weller on three or four songs including the hit single ‘Number Six’ with Paul on piano duties.

The band continued touring filling larger and larger venues worldwide across Japan, America and Australia. 2015 bought about the second album Smash The Clock again to rave reviews and featured more guests including Steve Cropper, Wilco Johnson, Paul Weller, Paul Jones to name a few.

Sadly Bruce suffered some health issues from around 2022 and decided it was wise to retire from touring and so did his last show in August 2025. Russell along with the rest of the band are continuing forward and spreading the joy and legacy of these wonderful songs and also playing tracks from the last three chart topping albums when they perform live.

From The Jam return to the road in 2026 with a UK tour, which will see the band perform The Jam's iconic hits like 'Going Underground', 'A Town Called Malice' and 'That's Entertainment' at venues in Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Birmingham and more.
