On the 16th, concert organizer MPMZ announced that Shame will meet domestic fans for the first time on April 28 at 6 PM at Hyundai Card Understage in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Formed in 2014 in South London, UK, Shame consists of five members: Charlie Steen (vocals), Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green (guitar), Josh Finerty (bass), and Charlie Forbes (drums). They quickly gained public attention with their music combining post-punk and new wave-based bass and pop melodies.

They drew attention with their first full-length album 'Songs of Praise' in 2018, which received a high score of 83 on Metacritic. Their follow-up album released three years later, 'Drunk Tank Pink,' was selected as the album of the year by British record label Rough Trade.

They also completed a tour covering Europe and North America, including the UK, to celebrate the release of their new album 'Food for Worms' released last year.

This is Shame's first concert in Korea. A representative from MPMZ explained, "Starting with Black Midi's first concert in Korea in 2022, Shame has joined the 'British Invasion' of several post-punk bands such as HMLTD, Black Country, New Road, and others."

Shame's performance, completed with intense stage presence, is expected to be a must-see event for listeners who love this genre.

Tickets will be available for reservation through Interpark Ticket starting at 12 PM on the 21st.
