Fucked Up Celebrate New Album By Playing Free 12-Hour Show in New York City

To celebrate the release of The Chemistry of Common Life, out October 7 on Matador, Fucked Up are playing a free TWELVE-HOUR-LONG SHOW at a storefront in New York City. Yes, TWELVE STRAIGHT HOURS of live music FREE. Now, that’s Fucked Up*!

The show, which takes place October 14 from 2 PM - 2 AM at the Rogan store (corner of Bowery and Bond), is free. And, according to Matador, "All ages are welcome to attend, though the free alcohol will be limited to those 21 and over." (Wait, free alcohol?) But, don’t worry, little kids, there’s something in it for you too: Fucked Up are giving away a free limited-edition 7-inch of “Royal Swan” to the first batch of show attendees.

Of course, Fucked Up will need help to make it through 12 hours of live music. So, they’re having their buds join them on stage. Guests include:

The Vivian Girls, John Joseph, Matt Sweeney, Chain Gang, Mobb Deep, Ryan Sawyer from Tall Firs, Jeff Jensen, David Cross, John Cale, K-Taro, Chris Doherty, E.K., DJ Chris, DJ Anarki, Michael Gira, members of the Australian Scapa Flow, Jeanne Bovet, Gods & Queens, Akon, The Edge, Ben Blackwell, Russell Simins, the Boogie, and more TBA.
