About Slade Uk

Slade Uk stands as the ultimate homage to the legendary Wolverhampton quartet, Slade, who carved their name into rock history with their unparalleled energy, catchy anthems, and flamboyant image. The original Slade, fronted by the inimitable Noddy Holder, dominated the charts in the 1970s with smash hits like “Cum On Feel the Noize,” “Mama Weer All Crazee Now,” and the perennial festive favourite, “Merry Xmas Everybody.” Their sound was a glorious fusion of hard rock riffs, singalong choruses, and an infectious, working-class swagger that resonated deeply with a generation seeking escapism and exhilaration.

Slade Uk meticulously recreates this iconic sound and spectacle, delivering a performance that is both authentic and incredibly powerful. This tribute act doesn’t just play the songs; they embody the spirit of Slade with stunning accuracy, from the distinctive costumes to the raw, untamed stage presence. The current lineup, featuring seasoned musicians dedicated to honouring the legacy, ensures every riff is razor-sharp and every vocal roar is spot-on. They capture the heavy, driving rhythm section and the blistering guitar work that pushed Slade beyond mere pop and firmly into the realm of hard rock, making their show a perfect fit for fans of metal and heavy rock who appreciate a good, honest, loud spectacle. Prepare for a night of pure, unadulterated rock ‘n’ roll that pays fitting tribute to one of the UK’s greatest bands.
