Ditz at YES

Johnny James, Managing Editor

Ditz at YES, Manchester 17 February 2020 Tickets from £6 — Book now

Influenced by the hardcore punk and noise rock of the 80s and 90s, Brighton-based Ditz make taut and erratic, melodic and urgent post punk. Gaining traction with singles ‘Gayboy’ and ‘Total 90’ last year, 2020 is looking to be a big one for the band. Taking a decidedly experimental approach when playing live, their sets are as freeform as they are thrilling. We can’t wait to watch them at YES.
