Get ready to experience rock history in the making as Wishbone Ash returns to The Atkinson on Tuesday, 24th September 2024. Known for their pioneering twin-lead guitar sound, the band helped shape the future of hard rock and metal, inspiring legendary acts like Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. Formed in 1969, Wishbone Ash quickly rose to prominence with their unique fusion of rock, blues, jazz, and progressive influences, creating an instantly recognisable sound that defined an era.
With albums like Argus (1972) cementing their place in rock history, the band has since built an extraordinary catalogue spanning over five decades.

Now celebrating the legacy of their much-loved live albums, the band’s current tour will focus on tracks from Live Dates 2 – the follow-up to their multi-million selling Live Dates album – while treating fans to a setlist packed with the best of their career.
