Republica

British electropop band Republica heads to Rotown in Rotterdam to mark the 30th anniversary of its debut album Republica. Fronted by the unmistakable Saffron, the band broke through in the late 1990s with a fierce blend of rock, electronica and pop, a sound that still lands with plenty of force. Songs such as Ready to Go and Drop Dead Gorgeous helped turn Republica into one of the era’s most recognisable crossover acts.

This anniversary show looks set to revisit that breakthrough moment with all the velocity and attitude that made the band stand out in the first place. Republica’s music has long had a life beyond the stage too, with its best-known singles appearing widely in films, adverts and television, and growing into tracks that still trigger instant recognition. For anyone with a soft spot for high-energy British alternative pop with a sharp electronic edge, this Rotterdam date should be an easy pick.
