The Publics

Hailing from the small town of Mansfield, The Publics are rising fast as one of the UK’s most compelling new indie bands, uniting punchy riffs, massive choruses and a chaotic, feel-good stage presence that never fails to ignite a crowd. Thanks to their explosive live shows, infectious crowd engagement and genuine fan connection, The Publics have wasted no time in amassing a passionate community that’s growing at an astonishing pace.

The band’s rise has been shaped by a series of major live milestones. They’ve sold out headline shows at Canvas in Mansfield and the iconic Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, drawing crowds that match their intensity and volume. Their energetic reputation earned them a place on the main stage at Splendour Festival, where they delivered a standout performance that showcased their command of large festival audiences.

Packed with dynamic arrangements, big hooks, and full-band energy, the EP is built for the biggest of stages. The band’s next milestone arrives at The Palais in Nottingham, a venue steeped in history and now set to host their biggest headline to date. Vibrant, ambitious andendlessly engaging, The Publics are carving out a place as one of the UK’s most promising rising acts.
