About Half Man Half Biscuit
Formed in 1984, Merseyside band Half Man Half Biscuit bring their deadpan wit, sharp lyricism and unmistakable blend of post-punk and social satire to the stage.
Known for turning everyday observations, cultural references and absurd humour into brilliantly crafted songs, the band deliver a live show that’s as entertaining as it is unpredictable.
Expect a set packed with fan favourites, laconic storytelling and dry humour delivered with trademark understatement. Part gig, part commentary on modern life, this is a uniquely British live experience with a fiercely loyal following.

About O2 Academy Oxford
The Edwardian building on Cowley Road has been hosting live music for decades. But prior to being a music venue, it was a Cooperative party hall. It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.
Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.
