British indie heavyweights Hard-Fi are set to return to their South West London stomping grounds this May. The Staines-formed outfit has been confirmed as the headline act for Harlequins’ Big Summer Kick-Off at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday, 16 May.
The “Stars of CCTV” icons will take to the pitch for a high-energy pre-match set before Harlequins face off against Exeter Chiefs in a crucial penultimate home fixture of the 2025/26 season. Fans can expect a setlist packed with era-defining anthems like “Hard to Beat” and “Living for the Weekend.”
For frontman Richard Archer, the gig is a homecoming of sorts:
“I used to look down at the old Twickenham stadium from my aunt’s flat, so I’m very excited and honoured to be playing at Allianz Stadium with Harlequins! It’s going to be a great day and only two stops on the train!”
The entertainment doesn’t end with the final whistle; live singalong sensations Massaoke are slated to keep the party going in the West Fan Village post-match.
Combining top-flight Gallagher Premiership rugby with a heavy dose of indie nostalgia, the event is shaping up to be the definitive start to the summer season in TW2.
