53rd & 3rd

53RD & 3RD – Ramones Tribute 50 Years of Leave Home & Rocket to Russia Two classic Ramones albums. One night at The Water Rats.

Released in 1977, Leave Home and Rocket to Russia gave us ‘Glad to See You Go’, ‘Swallow My Pride’, ‘Sheena Is a Punk Rocker’ and ‘Rockaway Beach’. Fifty years on, 53RD & 3RD are bringing those songs back to the London stage for a special anniversary show.

Formed in London in 1996, 53RD & 3RD are believed to be the UK’s first Ramones tribute band. They’ve gigged across the UK and Europe and shared bills with UK Subs, Stiff Little Fingers and The Stranglers. After playing to a packed room at Camden’s Fiddler’s Elbow for their 30th-anniversary reunion in June 2026, they’re back for another night of Ramones classics.
