Hometown gig for Austin Gold at The Met Lounge in Peterborough
Peterborough rock band Austin Gold are bringing their first hometown show of 2026 to The Met Lounge on May 22, and if previous shows are anything to go by, tickets won't last long.
In an era where rock music continues to evolve, Austin Gold stands as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of authentic, guitar-driven sound with a modern edge. The English quartet-comprised of David James Smith (lead vocals & guitar), Adam Leon (keys & backing vocals), Lee Churchill (bass guitar), and James Pepper (drums & backing vocals) -has carved out a distinctive niche in the rock landscape, earning them critical acclaim and a devoted following.
Austin Gold's ascent reached new peaks in October 2024 with the release of "Ain't No Saint," their most accomplished work to date. The album rocketed to number 7 in the UK Rock & Metal Chart, while also claiming impressive positions in the Official Album Download Chart (#18) and Independent Album Chart (#32)-firmly establishing them as one of the UK's premier rock acts.
The album made significant waves in rock media, with two songs nominated for Classic Rock Magazine's prestigious 'Track Of The Week.' The standout track 'Not Enough' was featured in the magazine's Hot Picks segment and later selected as one of their top tracks of the year, further cementing the band's growing influence in the rock community.
May 22nd will be their first Peterborough appearance since December, and the setlist will draw heavily from 'Ain't No Saint' alongside fan favourites spanning their catalogue. Support comes from up and coming Huntingdon based trio - RJ Archer and the Painful Memories.
Tickets are on sale now, priced at £12 advance or £15 on the door. The event is open to 14+ - with all under 16s to be accompanied by adult/18+
