Theatre Of Hate in Hitchin

Theatre Of Hate are a British post-punk band formed in London in 1980 by singer and songwriter Kirk Brandon after The Pack disbanded. Their first studio album, Westworld, was produced by Mick Jones and includes the signature songs “Do You Believe in the Westworld” and “Original Sin.” The band’s 1981 concerts were documented on He Who Dares Wins, a live album released before Westworld, and they also toured in support of The Clash during that early period. After disbanding in 1982, Theatre Of Hate reunited for concerts in the 1990s and later marked the album’s 30th anniversary with a Westworld tour in 2012. The re-formed group has also performed at Rebellion Festival in Blackpool.
