Deaf Havana in Torquay

Deaf Havana are a British alternative-rock band formed in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, in 2005. Their early post-hardcore sound gave way to broader, melodic rock across albums including Fools and Worthless Liars, Old Souls, All These Countless Nights and The Present Is a Foreign Land; their best-known songs include “Hunstanton Pier,” “Boston Square” and “Sinner.” In 2013, Deaf Havana opened for Bruce Springsteen at Hard Rock Calling in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. They followed that appearance with a main-stage performance at Reading and Leeds Festival in 2014, part of a live history centred on headline tours of the UK and Europe.
