Wales Dates to Save in Your Calendar Friday 14th August 2026 Live rock night

To understand The Alarm 2.0, we first need to rewind to the origins of the original band. Formed in the early 1980s in Wales, The Alarm quickly gained attention for their passionate blend of punk energy and melodic rock.

After the massive success of The Alarm 2.0’s two shows last December, the response was loud, clear, and impossible to ignore. So… we’re doing it again. TICKETS HERE We’re excited to announce that The Alarm 2.0 will be returning to The Lexington, London for one night only on Friday 20th March 2026 — and this time, there’s something extra special in store. Joining us on the night will be Craig Adams on bass, marking his return to The Alarm family. Craig’s presence brings a whol

Dave Blackman is one of those musicians whose impact is felt as much as it is heard. A British keyboard player renowned for his sensitivity, musicianship, and creative flair, he has built a reputation for adding atmosphere, melody, and emotional depth to rock music—never overpowering a song, always serving it. His playing brings colour and texture with a sense of purpose that feels instinctive rather than showy. A classically trained pianist, Dave began playing at the age of

The Alarm 2.0 are proud to announce a truly special run of shows for  The Awakening Tour this March , marked by two standout moments in the band’s evolving story: Eddie Macdonald will take centre stage as lead singer, and Craig Adams will fly over from America to guest as bass player.

For Karl Parsons, known to many as  The Design Doctor  or simply  Dr.K that sense of loss is deeply personal.

There are gigs you enjoy, gigs you remember and then there are gigs that  mean  something. For many who packed into The Lexington across two sold-out nights, The Alarm 2.0 delivered the latter. These shows weren’t just a return to the stage. They were a statement: that the songs, the spirit, and the community that defined The Alarm are still very much alive. From the first note, it felt familiar As the opening strains of  Marching On  rang out, a collective realisation spread

Behind the doors of a secret hideaway studio, The Alarm 2.0 came to life, not as a mere echo of the past, but as a living, breathing resurgence of energy, passion, and purpose.

For music marketing executive Karl Parsons, few things have been as constant in his life as his love for The Alarm. From plastering their posters on his teenage bedroom walls to catching every tour stop he could, Parsons’ admiration for the Welsh rock band has been decades in the making.
