Gig preview: Spike and the Gimme Gimmes to bring ‘Operation Ho Ho Ho’ tour to Wolverhampton
Punk-rock cover veterans Spike and the Gimme Gimmes bring their festive Operation Ho Ho Ho Tour to KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton on December 10, promising a night of full-throttle holiday mischief and high-energy nostalgia.
Long celebrated for their rapid-fire reworkings of classics spanning pop, rock, musicals and more, the band specialise in transforming familiar hits into fast, funny punk anthems. Frontman Spike Slawson pairs powerhouse vocals with theatrical charm, delivering a show that is equal parts precision and parody.
The Operation Ho Ho Ho tour sees the band leaning fully into seasonal mayhem. Expect a set peppered with punked-up holiday tunes alongside their trademark reinterpretations of non-festive favourites. The result is a raucous December celebration: bright, loud and cheerfully chaotic.
KK’s Steel Mill’s industrial, high-capacity setting makes it an ideal backdrop for the band’s larger-than-life spirit — a place where the humour and volume both land exactly as intended.
