The Foxlowe is thrilled to invite John Robb back as part of his 2026 UK tour. John will be talking about his memoirs, his life and the rise and fall of the punk generation along with some tangents. In the latter half of the show, John will be joined by a very special guest, Martin Bramah, founder member of The Fall, the main creative force behind post-punk band Blue Orchids and leader of House of All.

John Robb is a many-faceted creature - Not just a well known face from TV but also a best selling author, musician, journalist, Louder Than War music website boss, Louder Than Words and Louder Than War Live festivals boss, Eco champion, vegan behemoth and punk rock warlord as well as TV and radio talking head plus singer from post-punk critically acclaimed mainstays The Membranes.

John Robb is all these things and more and his upcoming 2026 memoirs will cover all of this and his adventures in punk and post punk and much more in book form and is also getting made into a film.

His recently released books ‘Live Forever - the Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Oasis’ and ‘The Art Of Darkness - the History Of Goth’ are both acclaimed worldwide pop culture best sellers joining his ‘The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop’ and his 2022 book with the leading maverick green energy boss Dale Vince from Ecotricity called ‘Manifesto’ at the top of the book charts.
.He is currently working on the ground-breaking Green Britain Academy education scheme and a zero carbon clothing line called ‘Dark Forest’ in his downtime between spoken word tours of the UK and Europe.
