What a year it has been for The Clause. From releasing their debut album ‘Victim Of A Casual Thing’ to tonight’s 3,000 capacity homecoming show, there has been plenty to shout about for the Birmingham band.
And ahead of the O2 Academy show later, The Clause have announced a raffle to win special artwork by local artist ‘Smashed Hits’, with all proceeds benefiting food banks across their home city.
The Birmingham-based artist, real name Kirk Whitehouse, specialises in creating broken vinyl portraits of rock ‘n’ rollers.
Fans can enter the raffle by buying a £5 ticket at the merch stand at the Birmingham show, with the winner revealed on Monday.
Vocalist/guitarist Pearce Macca says, “To celebrate our biggest ever show to 3000 people at the Birmingham O2 Academy, we’ve teamed up with Smashed Hits to make this special one-off piece of artwork that’s made from out of smashed-up vinyl of our debut album.
“It’s beautiful. We will raffle this off at the show on Friday. All of the proceeds will go to foodbanks in Birmingham, so get involved and we can send some money to people who really need it this Christmas time.”
Standing tickets for tonight’s show are already sold-out, but very limited seats remain available HERE.
2026 is also shaping up to be another big year for the band, with the recent tour announcement in conjunction with Independent Venue Week nearly sold out already, and the second leg of the debut album tour kicking off in March.
This precedes plenty of festival performances already locked in the calendar, with the full list of live dates below.
