London Calling play the 1978 album by The Clash in full to celebrate it's 45th anniversary.
The Clash released their acclaimed second album Give 'Em Enough Rope in 1978. It went to #2 in the UK Charts and was the first album by the band to be released in the USA. Sounds Magazine named the album as the 'Best Album of the Year'.
NME voted it the '87th Greatest Album of All Time' retrospectively in 1993.
London Calling, the world's premiere tribute to The Clash, will be paying homage by playing the album in it's entirety in sequence.
They will then go on and play the best of the rest including all the hit singles and more such as Should I Stay or Should I Go, Rock the Casbah, I Fought the Law, White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Complete Control, Clash City Rockers, Train in Vain, and, of course, London Calling.
