Family Theatre: Kids to the Front

Touring Inspire Libraries Wednesday 12 August - Sunday 16 August 2026

An interactive, inclusive, live band experience - full of kindness, fun and electrifying punk vibes.

Whilst on their tour across the universe, the aliens of The Boogie Woogie Space Junk Band crash-land in Nottinghamshire! They’re keen to discover where they are and to find their trusty supersonic space pig, Brian.

Only the kids have the energy, uniqueness & magic to propel the Space Junk Band’s debut electro-punk album into the stratosphere!

For children aged 3+ and their families (younger siblings welcome too).

Kids to the Front was commissioned and supported by The Spark Arts for Children
