Off the back of their sold-out concert at London’s Islington Garage on Saturday April 11, and winning the “Young Artist of the Year” award for the second year in a row at the UK Blues Awards 2026, Kent blues rock trio The Zac Schulze Gang are pleased to announce their concert at Brighton’s Hope & Ruin on November 14th is sold out. The band have now confirmed their support acts for their November 2026 UK tour.
The main support on all November dates are Whisky Flowers. The opening supports in each city are as follows: The Dassins at Leeds Key Club (Nov 10), Flok at Manchester Night & Day (Nov 11), Tom Sheldon at York Crescent (Nov 12), Slydar at Norwich Waterfrtont (Nov 13), Honey Buzzard at Brighton Hope & Ruin (Nov 14) and Jesse Garwood at Nottingham Rescue Rooms (Nov 15).
Tickets are available from alttickets.com, Gigantic.com and The Zac Schulze Gang.
The band are best known for their explosive live shows and their signature blend of 70’s classic blues rock and modern alternative influences. Guitarist Zac Schulze commands the punk intensity of Wilko Johnson, the blues rock finesse of Rory Gallagher, and the adrenaline-pumped rock presence of AC/DC’s Angus Young.
Over the past few years, the Kent-based trio have built a loyal following who are fans of their blistering, raw-to-the-bone live shows. They’ve toured the UK and Europe extensively and have supported the likes of Samantha Fish on several tours. Their explosive sound combines classic British R&B with punk urgency, first-class musicianship, and non-stop onstage excitement.
Released in September 2025, the band’s debut album Straight To It says it all. The trio doesn’t mess around with niceties, preferring to play the kind of blues-infused rock’n’roll that grabs you by the throat.
Guitarist Zac Schulze, is a world-class shredder, playing with precision, speed, and passion, but the focus of the trio isn’t just his solos. The Zac Schulze Gang is an undeniable gang, a group unified by a like-minded sensibility that adds an electrifying charge to their rock’n’roll. Zac rides the thunder generated by the rhythm section of his drummer brother Ben Schulze and bassist Ant Greenwell. The trio create a massive roar, all without losing sight of what matters most, the songs.
The Zac Schulze Gang’s sound and work ethic harks back to the much-loved live dynamic and relentless touring schedules of 70s icons including Rory Gallagher and Dr Feelgood. Their unique sound also embodies elements of heritage classic rock acts like AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, while giving a nod to contemporary influences like Turnstile, Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age.
The Gang have made lasting impressions at festivals including Eric Clapton’s Crossroads, Planet Rock’s Winter End in 2023 and Fairport’s Cropredy Festival, and the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Ballyshannon where the band first exploded onto the scene.
Zac Schulze won Emerging Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2024 and followed this by winning Young Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards in 2025 and 2026. With sold-out concerts in the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK, the Zac Schulze Gang are the band to watch.
