Young rock band Retsecrows announce free Kidderminster homecoming show
Midlands rock band Retsecrows are returning to Kidderminster for a special hometown headline show at The Church Venue on Friday 6 November 2026, with free entry for music fans.
The four-piece, who have earned a reputation as the UK's youngest touring rock band, will be joined by special guests Fracxura and Worcestershire blues rock outfit Crimson Flame for an evening celebrating young musical talent and live rock music.
The homecoming follows a busy year for Retsecrows, who have continued to build their reputation on the UK live music circuit, including performances at festivals such as Call of the Wild and Rockmantic Weekender.
Known for their powerful riffs, energetic performances and distinctive stage presence, the band draw inspiration from the likes of Black Sabbath, Pearl Jam and The Offspring, bringing together classic rock influences with a contemporary edge.
Joining them as special guests are Fracxura, a young Midlands hard rock band whose sound combines classic metal influences with big hooks and infectious energy. The band released their Live Fast Die Free EP earlier this year.
Opening the evening will be Worcestershire's Crimson Flame, whose psychedelic blues rock sound takes inspiration from Led Zeppelin, early Fleetwood Mac, The Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix, alongside elements of soul.
Speaking ahead of the show, Retsecrows said: "We've been looking forward to this one for a long time. We've played some incredible venues and festivals this year, but there's something really special about coming home to Kidderminster. To have two fantastic bands joining us at The Church Venue makes it even better. We want to make it a night to remember."
The event will also showcase The Church Venue, a distinctive live music space in the heart of Kidderminster, and offer local audiences an opportunity to enjoy three emerging bands without the cost of admission.
Retsecrows' homecoming show takes place at The Church Venue, Kidderminster, on Friday 6 November 2026. Doors open at 7.30pm and entry is free.
