The Annual Undercover Xmas Party is back once again at the iconic – The Fighting Cocks Kingston

And who better to headline this than – 

EDDIE & THE HOT RODS!

One of the most highly influential and recognisable names from the English Rock / Punk cross over scene. Although often categorised as one of the founding fathers of the punk era, they were simply interested in playing loud, fast, in your face Rock 'n' Roll and that remains true to this day.

Unfortunately, in October 2019 came the awful news that founder member Barrie Masters had passed away at the age of only 63 after a legendary career with the band.

Thanks to the enduring appeal of the music, support from their fans and a never failing desire to get out there and make some noise, the band decided to continue touring with a new album and as always, the utmost respect for Barrie's memory. Fronted on Vocals by Ian 'Dipster' Dean with Simon 'Basher' Bowley on Drums and Richard Holgarth on Guitar, this line up has been the core of The Hot Rods for the 25 plus years. Joined by Bassist Mic Stoner (ex Chords UK), they continue to serve up a high energy mix of those classic.

They were awesome when they played Undercover Festival 2025 and we are in for a treat in 2026!
