Pendulum will headline TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall on Saturday, June 14, while The Saw Doctors will headline on Saturday, August 2, with special guests The Undertones.

One of the most iconic electronic rock acts of all time – Pendulum marked the end of a self-imposed hiatus earlier this year with two new EPs ‘Elemental’ and ‘Anima’ along with a run of headline festival shows.
It has been an incredible journey for the chart-toppers since they formed in their native Perth in 2002.
Releasing their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Hold Your Colour’ in 2005, which included monster tracks ‘Slam’, 'Fasten Your Seatbelt’, 'Tarantula’ and ‘Blood Sugar’, Pendulum became known for their blend of high-tempo productions and energetic shows.
Led by Rob Swire and bandmates Gareth McGrillen and Paul Harding, the album went platinum and the band set about taking the world by storm.
By the time 2008’s platinum-selling follow up ‘In Silico’ arrived, Pendulum were one of electronic music’s biggest live acts.
They headlined stages at festivals worldwide and their third studio album in 2010, ‘Immersion’ which shot straight to Number 1 in the UK album charts.
Formed in 1986 in County Galway, The Saw Doctors have achieved 18 Top 30 singles in the Republic of Ireland including three number ones with I Useta Lover, Hay Wrap and a cover of Sugababes hit About You Now.
The band have released seven studio albums and their new EP Wha’D’Ya Think A That was released earlier this month.
The Saw Doctors are powered by song writers Davy Carton (vocals) and Leo Moran (guitar) with a band lineup including former Waterboy Anthony Thistlethwaite on saxophone, Rickie O’Neill, drums, Pearse Doherty, bass guitar, Kieran Duddy, keyboards, Noelie McDonnell, backing vocals and Tommy Carton, backing vocals.
Joining them in Halifax as special guests will be fellow rockers The Undertones.
Emerging from Derry in 1976, The Undertones are the result of five friends learning how to play basic rock and roll.
Over the next 10 years, they would score chart hits including Here Comes The Summer, Jimmy Jimmy, and punk classic Teenage Kicks.
Nicky Chance Tompson MBE DL, CEO of The Piece Hall charitable trust, said: “Another two great announcements means 2025 is shaping up to be a wonderfully diverse season.”
Pendulum and The Saw Doctors join Weezer, James, The Libertines, Simple Minds, Khruangbin, Texas, Olly Murs, Rag’n’Bone Man, UB40 ft Ali Campbell, Dean Lewis and The Script among the first headliners announced for TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall 2025.
