About This Event

The Lowry Theatre hosts Blaze FM, an acclaimed theatrical production depicting the defiant rise of a pirate radio station broadcasting rebellious music and unfiltered political views from a Hackney council flat. This compelling narrative unfolds across a cast of diverse performers who embody the raw energy of underground culture against the backdrop of institutional suppression. The show promises to immerse audiences in a high-stakes story of artistic resistance, running on 18 September 2026 with ticket prices starting from £15.

From the acclaimed Grime MC Jammz and award-winning writer of Electrolyte James Meteyard comes Blaze FM, explosive new writing weaving Drill, Grime and Jungle tracks through electrifying powerful, political theatre.

You're locked into Blaze FM - the pirate radio station pioneering new music as a voice to the madness outside, broadcasting an uncensored political perspective and birthing "the realest music from the next generation". Blaze FM blasts from a rundown council flat in Hackney, laying the foundations of Grime, now one of Britain's most celebrated subcultures of music. But in the midst of court orders, DTI signal cuts, and outright attacks against Black music, the family fight for their right to exist.

The Big House made their Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut with Blaze FM in 2025,an explosive piece of political theatre weaving Grime, Garage, Drill and Jungle tracks through electrifying powerful performance. Now, Blaze takes the fire from the studio to the road in a 2026 regional tour. Described by critics as "unmissable", taking home slews of five stars reviews, along with the Best Director award at the Edinburgh Fringe, it's not one to miss.
