Off the back of their sold-out concert at London’s Islington Garage on Saturday April 11^th, and winning the “Young Artist of the Year” award for the second year in a row at the UK Blues Awards 2026, Kent blues rock trio The Zac Schulze Gang are pleased to announce their 2027 UK Headline Tour which includes their biggest London concert to date at The Islington Assembly Hall on Saturday February 27^th.

Tickets go on sale 10am on Friday April 10^th from alttickets.com, Gigantic.com and The Zac Schulze Gang.

The band are best known for their explosive live shows and their signature blend of 70’s classic blues rock and modern alternative influences. Guitarist Zac Schulze commands the punk intensity of Wilko Johnson, the blues rock finesse of Rory Gallagher, and the adrenaline-pumped rock presence of AC/DC’s Angus Young.

Over the past few years, the Kent-based trio have built a loyal following who are fans of their blistering, raw-to-the-bone live shows. They’ve toured the UK and Europe extensively and have supported the likes of Samantha Fish on several tours. Their explosive sound combines classic British R&B with punk urgency, first-class musicianship, and non-stop onstage excitement.

Released in September 2025, the band’s album ‘Straight To It‘ is a fitting title for The Zac Schulze Gang‘s debut studio album: the trio doesn’t mess around with niceties, preferring to play the kind of blues-infused rock’n’roll that grabs your throat and doesn’t let go.

Frontman, guitarist Zac Schulze, is a world-class shredder, playing with precision, speed, and passion, but the focus of the trio isn’t just his solos. The Zac Schulze Gang is an undeniable gang, a group unified by a like-minded sensibility that adds an electrifying charge to their rock’n’roll. Zac Schulze rides the thunder generated by the rhythm section of his drummer brother Ben Schulze and bassist Ant Greenwell. The trio create a massive roar, all without losing sight of their songs.

The blend of melody and muscle gives ‘Straight To It‘ a visceral kick. Branching away from the blues that provided the trio their initial inspiration, The Zac Schulze Gang opens the album with ‘The Rocker‘, whose breathless hooks almost feel like a rallying call, and sustain that energy through the blitzkrieg rush of ‘High Roller‘. This hard edge is complemented by the bright power-pop of ‘Angeline‘ and ‘Betterland‘, an alt-rock anthem that soars toward the skies.

The Zac Schulze Gang’s sound and work ethic harks back to the much-loved live dynamic and relentless touring schedules of 70s icons including Rory Gallagher and Dr Feelgood. Their unique sound also embodies elements of heritage classic rock acts like AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, while giving a nod to contemporary influences like Turnstile, Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age.

The Gang have made lasting impressions at esteemed festivals including Eric Clapton’s Crossroads in LA, Planet Rock’s Winter End in 2023 and Fairport’s Cropredy Festival, and the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Ballyshannon where the band first exploded onto the scene.

Zac Schulze won Emerging Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2024 and followed this by winning Young Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2025. With sold out shows in Netherlands, Germany, and London’s legendary 100 Club, this power-driven trio are THE band to watch.
