Sham 69 @ Backstage, HK, 15 May

Punk purists, heads and hairs up. Britain's Sham 69 are bringing their 30+ year rock show to Hong Kong in May. You know you gotta be there.

The band are considered as one of the most influential acts of the Oi! and streetpunk genres, and while they might not have received the same level of acclaim that the likes of the Sex Pistols received, they are no less important. And you must always be in the company of the important (no matter how wrinkly it might look).
