Shoplifters United are performing a rousing tribute to The Smiths on Saturday, September 6th at Sweetwater. Formed in 1982, The Smiths became one of the most influential bands of the 1980s, blending Morrissey’s poetic lyricism with Johnny Marr’s dazzling guitar work, Andy Rourke’s driving basslines, and Mike Joyce’s signature rhythms. Their sound still echoes through generations of artists—timeless, raw, and unforgettable.
With passionate performances and spot-on recreations of both beloved hits and deep cuts, Shoplifters United bring the magic of The Smiths to life on stage. Pascal, Matt, Tommy, and James have been channeling their shared love of The Smiths into a live experience that transports audiences back to 1984 Manchester at The Haçienda. Close your eyes, feel the jangly guitars and melancholic anthems, and relive the brilliance of The Smiths—live, loud, and in the moment.
