The Smyths are the UK's longest-established tribute to The Smiths, formed in 2003 by a group of dedicated fans intent on recreating the authentic live experience of the iconic Manchester band. Rather than relying on gimmicks or elaborate costumes, they focus on faithfully capturing the sound and spirit of The Smiths, delivering performances that resonate with both long-time devotees and new listeners.
Over the years, The Smyths have performed over 900 shows across the UK, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, including appearances at renowned festivals such as Glastonbury, The Isle of Wight, and Bestival. Their dedication to authenticity has earned them acclaim from figures like Johnny Marr and producer Stephen Street. With a repertoire that spans The Smiths' greatest hits, The Smyths continue to bring the music of one of Britain's most beloved bands to life for audiences worldwide.
