Smaller Live at Camp and Furnace with Support

Smaller - Badly Badly 30th Anniversary Show

Friday 25 April 2026 • 19:00-23:00 • Camp and Furnace

🎸 Smaller return to Camp and Furnace to celebrate 30 years of their cult debut album Badly Badly.

Formed in Liverpool in the early 1990s, Smaller were a key part of the UK indie and Britpop underground. Closely linked with the Gallagher brothers, the band famously supported Oasis on stadium tours, and their track Is features Noel Gallagher on guitar - a collaboration that firmly places Smaller within the inner circle of the era's most important British bands.

Released in 1997, Badly Badly has since achieved cult status and is regularly cited by fans and critics as one of the great overlooked albums of the Britpop era. Noel Gallagher has publicly named it among his favourite albums of all time, cementing its legacy as a record that influenced far beyond its original release.

This special anniversary show brings Badly Badly back to the stage in full spirit - raw, emotional, melodic and unmistakably 90s.
