๐Ÿ“ The Globe, Cardiff
๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Tuesday 1st September 2026

Cardiff, brace yourselves โ€” because The Damn Truth and Crobot are heading to The Globe for a night packed with thunderous riffs, huge vocals and enough rock โ€™nโ€™ roll swagger to shake the walls of the Welsh capital. ๐ŸŽธ๐Ÿ”ฅ

One of the most exciting bands making serious noise across the UK and Europe right now, The Damn Truth have been steadily building a reputation as a live act that simply does not mess about.

The Montreal four-piece deliver a gutsy, revved-up modern take on classic rock, mixing the raw spirit of the 1970s with fresh energy, massive hooks and a stage presence that grabs audiences by the collar from the opening note.

This is the sort of band that feels built for packed venues, sweaty crowds and fans shouting every chorus back at the stage.

Proper rock โ€™nโ€™ roll, mun.

๐ŸŽธ THE DAMN TRUTH ARE ON THE RISE

Hailing from Montreal, Canada, The Damn Truth have won over audiences with their fearless blend of classic influences and modern firepower.

Their sound is full of gritty guitar work, pounding drums, powerful vocals and the sort of confident attitude that makes you feel like rock music is very much alive, well and kicking doors off their hinges.

They bring the spirit of classic rock without sounding like a tribute act or a band trapped in the past. Instead, The Damn Truth take those familiar ingredients โ€” bluesy riffs, big choruses, psychedelic touches and raw emotion โ€” and fire them through a modern amplifier.

The result is loud, exciting and made for the stage.

Their growing popularity across Europe and the UK has seen them turn heads wherever they go, and their Cardiff appearance gives Welsh rock fans the chance to catch the band in an intimate venue while they continue their rise.

๐Ÿ”ฅ CROBOT BRING THE GROOVE

Joining The Damn Truth are the brilliantly chaotic Crobot, a band known for blending hard rock, blues, funk and heavy groove into one gloriously loud package.

Crobot have built a fierce reputation through years of energetic performances, swagger-filled songs and riffs chunky enough to require planning permission.

They are not a band designed for standing still.

Expect bouncing crowds, raised fists, huge choruses and plenty of filthy guitar work as Crobot bring their unmistakable energy to The Globe.

Pairing Crobot with The Damn Truth is a cracking move, creating a bill that combines old-school attitude, modern power and plenty of groove.

No filler. No messing about. Just riffs.

๐ŸŸ๏ธ THE PERFECT VENUE FOR A ROCK โ€™Nโ€™ ROLL PARTY

The Globe has long been one of Cardiffโ€™s most loved live music venues, offering fans the chance to see bands up close in a proper intimate setting.

There is something special about watching a rising band in a venue like this.

You can feel every drum hit, hear every roar from the crowd and get close enough to the stage to see the sweat flying off the guitar strings.

It is the kind of room where memorable gigs happen.

And with The Damn Truth and Crobot sharing the bill, this one has all the ingredients for a belter.

๐Ÿค˜ WHAT TO EXPECT

Fans heading to The Globe can expect:

  • Huge classic-rock-inspired riffs
  • Powerful, soulful vocals
  • Heavy grooves from Crobot
  • Big choruses and crowd singalongs
  • Sweat, noise and plenty of rock โ€™nโ€™ roll attitude
  • A proper Cardiff welcome from the Welsh rock family

This will not be one of those polite evenings where everyone quietly nods along while holding a drink.

This is going to be loud.

This is going to be energetic.

And there is a very good chance everyone will leave with ringing ears, sore necks and massive grins.

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ SAVE THE DATE

The Damn Truth x Crobot
The Globe, Cardiff
Tuesday 1st September 2026

With two explosive live bands, one brilliant Cardiff venue and a crowd that always knows how to bring the noise, this is shaping up to be one of the must-see rock shows of September.

So round up the crew, warm up those neck muscles and prepare for a night of riffs, groove and glorious rock โ€™nโ€™ roll chaos.

See you down the front, butt. ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿ”ฅ

Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud.
