Bauhaus have announced a rescheduled date for their Alexandra Palace gig which was postponed last year because of the coronavirus.

The Northampton goth post-punk pioneers will now headline the London venue on Saturday, October 30.

The band had been due to play the venue in April last year but the gig was postponed until August and then postponed for a second time.

Formed in Northampton in the late 1970s, Bauhaus were pioneers of the gothic rock genre.

They released four albums between 1980 and 1983 with a fifth following in 2008.

All were reissued last year on limited edition coloured vinyl.

In 2018, Peter Murphy and David J played two sold out nights at the Roadmender in Northampton at which they played their debut In The Flat Field in its entirety as well as other Bauhaus classics.

Following this, the original line up of singer Peter Murphy, guitarist Danial Ash, drummer Kevin Haskins and bassist David J played two gigs at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles in 2019.

Ahead of the London gig, Bauhaus will play two nights in Mexico.

All original tickets for the Alexandra Palace gig remain valid.

Tickets cost £60 before fees. Doors open at 6.30pm.
