Drawing from the punk spirit of Buzzcocks, the psychedelic flair of Super Furry Animals, and the swagger of Blur, the Perth-based six-piece have built a reputation for explosive live shows and a fiercely loyal following.

Having sold out venues across Scotland and played major festivals from TRNSMT to SXSW, Parliamo arrive in the Black Country fresh from European stages in Paris and Valencia. Expect a set that’s loud, loose, and impossible to stand still through.

Joining them are hometown heroes The Spoils, whose jagged guitars and grunge-soaked indie rock have been turning heads across the Midlands and beyond. With a debut EP dropping just days before the show, their set promises raw emotion, melodic punch, and the kind of live energy that leaves a lasting mark.

Opening the night is Wolverhampton’s own Jim Hudson, whose introspective songwriting and rich instrumentation have earned praise from Louder Than War, Reyt Good Magazine, and Ryan’s Gig Guide. Now backed by a full band, Hudson’s sound blends Radiohead-esque melancholy with soaring indie-pop hooks. An evocative start to a stacked lineup!

Three acts. One stage. A night of punk spirit, indie grit, and lyrical depth awaits at DIVE. Tickets available via uncover.seetickets.com/event/parliamo/dive/3428844
