Iconic British group From The Jam celebrate their 20th year in 2026 – two decades of music that cleverly added to the broader British songbook, while also developing a creative legacy that remains timeless and respected today. 

This July, the milestone tour makes its way to New Zealand, with From The Jam bringing their influential catalogue to fans and newcomers alike. Led by vocalist Russell Hastings, the band’s current lineup retains the spirit and reverence for the music that made From The Jam so beloved when they first debuted under the name The Gift.

Formed by The Jam drummer Rick Buckler, together with Hastings and musicians David Moore and fellow member of The Jam, bassist Bruce Foxton, the group quickly developed a devoted following of fans around the world. While Hastings remains the only frontman to have performed and recorded with both Buckler and Foxton, From The Jam continues to uphold and celebrate the music of The Jam, while also creating new memories with their music as it finds new generations of fans.

In 2025, Foxton retired from the band due to ill health, but his impact is carried forth into 2026 with this special anniversary tour. Audiences can expect to hear enduring classics such as ‘Going Underground’, ‘Start!’, ‘Town Called Malice’, and ‘That’s Entertainment’, delivered with the same precision and energy that made The Jam one of the UK’s most influential bands.
