THE HYSTERICS – INDIE ROCK & ALTERNATIVE ANTHEMS AT THE OVAL

If Kings of Leon, The Killers, Queens of the Stone Age and The Black Keys are your kind of music, The Hysterics should be on your summer calendar.

We’re welcoming The Hysterics to The Oval Bandstand for Summer Sundays 2027, bringing a very different sound to our summer programme.

This four-piece band specialise in guitar-driven indie, alternative rock and pop-punk favourites, taking well-known tracks and giving them a heavier, desert-rock edge.

Think crunchy guitars, gritty vocals and the kind of big choruses you’d expect to hear at a festival.

Influenced by the sounds of Kings of Leon and Queens of the Stone Age, The Hysterics put their own stamp on indie and rock favourites, with plenty of energy and attitude.

Bandstand concerts are back for a glorious summer of entertainment!
