THE THE

This may be the band with the simplest name in rock history, but it's fascinating in every way. The The, fronted by singer Matt Johnson since 1979, have released timeless albums and singles such as Heartland, Dogs Of Lust and The Beat(en) Generation. Far from being a band of the past, they'll be at Le Bataclan on 26 June 2025 to defend their most recent album, released in 2024, which is astonishingly beautiful.
