The Legendary I Love Rock ‘N Rollers are set to play in Glasgow this summer.

Joan Jett and The Blackhearts have announced a show at Glasgow’s O2 Academy on 2 July - in what will be their only UK headline show of the year. It has been 16 years since their last headline performance.

The group released their most recent album in 2022, the acoustic 'Changeup'. It was their thirteenth studio album, with releases dating back to 1980s Bad Reputation - originally released under the Joan Jett name.

Jett has been performing for more than 50 years having initially found fame with The Runaways - best known for 1976s ‘Cherry Bomb’. Jett then embarked on a hugely influential career with the Blackhearts - spawning songs such as ‘I Love Rock ‘N Roll’ and ‘Bad Reputation’.

Her legacy saw her dubbed the “Godmother of Punk”.

Later this month, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will embark on a five-date residence at House of Blues Las Vegas.

Tickets for the new Glasgow show go on general sale at 10am on Friday (February 6).
