40th Anniversary + Hits & Faves ON SALE WED 31 JUL The Smyths make their debut at Exeter Phoenix! 2025 sees the 40th anniversary of The Smiths’ legendary second album “Meat is Murder”. Arguably the band’s most controversial release (the band considered it as a protest album), not only did it do more than anything in pop culture to encourage a generation to become vegetarians, it was the first album to introduce Morrissey’s criticism of the Royal Family. Coming a year on from the band’s debut, “Meat Is Murder” showed the band moving it’s musical might to a muscular new sound (whilst still maintaining it’s ability to produce heart-breaking beautiful songs). The Smyths present “Meat is Murder “a show that will celebrate the album alongside a full collection of classic hits and more from The Smiths.
