The spirit of Mott The Hoople — rebellious, glamorous, defiant — roars again. Stronger. Louder. And absolutely unstoppable. Performed by True Rock Legends..

Zak Starkey is one of rock's most electrifying drummers — a powerhouse talent who carved his own legacy while carrying the rhythm of rock history in his blood. The son of Ringo Starr and godson of Keith Moon, Zak didn't just inherit rock royalty; he earned his place among it.

Blasting onto the scene with fire and precision, he became the driving force behind The Who for nearly three decades, revitalizing the band's live sound with explosive energy and technical grit. His drumming also powered Oasis through their stadium-filling 2000s era, cementing him as one of the most sought-after drummers of his generation.

Never one to stay in one lane, Zak pushed beyond the drum throne to become a producer, songwriter, and co-founder of the acclaimed label Trojan Jamaica, championing genre-bending collaborations and bold new voices.

Dynamic, uncompromising, and endlessly innovative — Zak Starkey continues to define what modern rock drumming can be.

Dave "Bucket" Colwell: The Relentless Guitar Force Driving Rock Forward

Few guitarists carry the pure, unfiltered spirit of rock 'n' roll the way Dave "Bucket" Colwell does. A veteran of some of the most iconic bands in British rock history, Bucket is the rare kind of player whose riffs don't just support a song — they ignite it.

From tearing up stages with Bad Company during their biggest touring years to powering the revived Humble Pie, Colwell has spent his life at the hard edge of rock, delivering the kind of tone, grit, and swagger that defines the genre. His fingerprints are on multiple Bad Company albums, global tours, and fan-favorite tracks — a driving force behind the band's resurgence and continued legacy.

But Bucket isn't a nostalgia act. Far from it. He's a forward-moving engine.

With his own powerhouse project, Bucket's Rebel Heart, he sharpened his sound, writing fresh, hook-heavy rock built for big stages and bigger crowds. The band's debut album, 20 Good Summers, proved what long time fans already knew: Bucket still plays like a man with something to prove.

Raw. Fearless. Loud. Dave Colwell remains one of rock's true lifers — a guitarist who never stopped pushing, never stopped creating, and never stopped hitting the strings with the full weight of his passion.

Bucket isn't just part of rock history. He's still making it.

Dave "Bucket" Colwell has assembled a rock 'n' roll juggernaut, teaming up with Zak Starkey to deliver a full-throttle, no-holds-barred celebration of Mott The Hoople — one of the most era-defining, rule-breaking, heart-and-soul bands in British rock history.

Few groups have burned their way into rock folklore like Mott The Hoople. They were the outsiders who became icons: glam renegades with working-class grit, musical revolutionaries with both brains and bite. Their catalogue is a lightning bolt of swagger and melody — All the Young Dudes, All the Way from Memphis, Honaloochie Boogie, Roll Away the Stone — songs that didn't just soundtrack the '70s, but shaped the DNA of generations to come. Punk bands worshipped them. Britpop bands echoed them. Modern rock still borrows from their swagger, their wit, their theatre, their danger.

To honour a band of that magnitude, Bucket and Zak have built a line up capable of doing it justice — and then some. This is not a museum piece. This is not a gentle tribute. This is Mott, unleashed, rebuilt with the power, volume, and intensity of musicians who live and breathe rock 'n' roll.

The all-star cast includes:

  • Johnny Barracuda (Soho Dukes) on vocals — a firestarter with the grit, growl and glam sneer that Mott demands
  • Chris "Swerve" Vicary (Soho Dukes) lighting up the keys with vintage flair and high-octane showmanship
  • Pat Davey nailing down the bass with heavyweight drive and groove
  • Julie Maguire delivering rich, soaring backing vocals that send the choruses into overdrive

This is a afternoon Matinee built for diehards, dreamers, and anyone who still believes rock should be loud, bold, and larger than life.
