Plus Special Guests FREESTONE

Formed by Les Carter (aka Fruitbat) in 1998 after the breakup of Carter USM, Abdoujaparov are named after Tour De France cyclist Djamolidine Abdoujaparov.

Abdoujaparov's musical foundations are the joyous and shambolic influences of 1977 Punk Rock & New Wave, but there is so much more than that under the covers.

Eight EPs, four singles and six albums have been released on Spinach Records.

The band has toured worldwide, racking up over 600 gigs, from tiny clubs to big festivals.

2020 saw the release of two limited release lock-down singles 'We're All Gonna Die' and 'A Trip Of A Lifetime'. Both sold out within 24 hours.

2021 Saw the sixth album 'Race Home Grow Love' released .

2022 saw the 20th Anniversary of our first studio album 'Air Odeon Disco Pub'. We celebrated at a sold-out gig at London's 100 Club, playing the album in its' entirety for the first time.

2023 and 2024 have been busy with Spring and Autumn tours and a whole load of festival slots during the Summer.

Roll on 2025... That's just the boring factual stuff, come and see us, you will LOVE it.

Freestone: After almost 40 years of friendship, three musicians have finally come together to play as Freestone, a band that emerged in its present format in late 2023. Drawing from their roots in some of Portsmouth’s iconic bands such as The Mild Mannered Janitors, The Good Time Charlies, and Painthorse, Freestone deliver a garage rock sound that’s raw and energetic. Their noisy, guitar-driven tunes will turn your head and annoyingly stick in your mind, pulling you into a wild ride that will have you heading straight to the bar for liquid accompaniment. It’s loud, it’s catchy, and it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.
