Welcome to Yorkshire
On Saturday, August 9, 2026, indie rock band The K's marked a significant milestone in their career by performing a sold-out headline show at TK Maxx presents Live At The Piece Hall in Halifax. This event was particularly special as it was their first time headlining the venue, completing a remarkable journey since they first appeared there as support artists.
The K's Rise to Fame
The K's, hailing from Earlestown, have experienced a rapid rise in popularity over the last year. Their journey began with a performance supporting the iconic band Blondie, which was followed by another opening slot for James last summer. Since then, they have topped the Official Albums Chart with their second album, Pretty On The Internet, solidifying their reputation as one of the UK's most exciting live bands.

“Is it only a year ago? That's crazy. I feel like we've been looking forward to this for ages, because we knew about it then. We found out that night that we were going to headline, and it feels like it was forever ago. It's mad that it was only a year, but we're here!”
