Inspiral Carpets to perform live show in Shrewsbury
The Buttermarket in Shrewsbury is set to welcome the legendary indie band Inspiral Carpets, who will perform a full live show on Saturday 27 June.
A defining force of the iconic Madchester movement, Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in 1980 and quickly became one of the UK’s most influential alternative bands. With a catalogue packed full of era-defining tracks including This Is How It Feels, Dragging Me Down, Two Worlds Collide, She Comes in the Fall, Joe and Saturn 5, the band continues to captivate audiences across the country.
Renowned for their powerful live performances, Inspiral Carpets remain as compelling as ever on stage. As music publication Louder Than War notes: “You forget how many great songs they have in their catalogue and as they pump them out the crowd is in rapture.”
The announcement forms part of The Buttermarket’s expanding live music programme, which is placing a renewed emphasis on original artists in 2026.
Martin Monahan, owner of The Buttermarket, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to be bringing Inspiral Carpets to Shrewsbury. They’re a band with a huge legacy and an incredible live reputation, so this is a big moment for us.
"This year more than ever, we’re focused on presenting original artists at The Buttermarket, giving audiences the chance to experience authentic live music from acts who have shaped the UK’s music scene. Shows like this are exactly what that vision is all about.”
Tickets for the show are expected to be in high demand and are available at thebuttermarket.co.uk/events
