The Blockheads

One of the most loved bands of the 70s perform their classic songs spanning over five decades!

Starting out as the band behind Ian Dury, The Blockheads are a legendary outfit that has grown in stature from the early days of the Stiff tour in 1977, right up to the present day.

Backing up Ian Dury's poetic lyrics, this is the band that brought you 'Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick', 'What a Waste', 'Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)', and 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll', among many others.

Rarely off the road since the demise of Ian Dury in 2000, the Blockheads are still one of the most underrated British bands of all time, with a legion of fans of all ages. After their back-to-back double headline performances here in 2025, The Factory Live are honoured to welcome this legendary band back to Worthing.
