London & Portmeirion update

We’re planning on celebrating the 10th year of our reunion in style throughout the next 12 months.

First up, and after the success of our recent early show in London, we’re going to go back to where it all (re)started in 2016 – The Half Moon, Putney, for a special matinee show (1.00pm to 5.00pm) on Sunday 6th July. Guests will be Spizzology and Damage UK. Tickets available now here 


Secondly, we’re excited to confirm our return to North Wales in spring 2026 for our 10th anniversary and final Portmeirion weekend event. The event is scheduled for 20th-22nd March so fans can start booking accommodation as soon as they’re ready. However please be aware that onsite cottage accommodation is very limited for that weekend so if that’s where you’d like to stay, we’d advise booking soon. There are plenty of onsite hotel rooms available, plus the usual offsite options locally including the Travelodge and Premier Inn at Porthmadog. 

Full details and event booking instructions will be provided at the end of April but to put your minds at ease, if you book accommodation onsite in the meantime, we will ensure that you are guaranteed to be able to buy event entry bookings when the time comes.

Thirdly, don’t forget that we’re out on the road with Big Country for the next three weekends, starting TONIGHT at Cambridge Junction! See you there…

2026-year of anniversaries

Next spring marks the 100th anniversary of the opening to guests of the Portmeirion Hotel, the first building at what would become Portmeirion village, a location dear to the band and Vapors fans alike. 

March 2026 also marks the 10th anniversary of Dave & Ed hopping on stage with Steve and The Shakespearos at The Half Moon in Putney, which kickstarted the band’s reunion.

Now, how should we celebrate those two great landmarks? Check back here at 2 o’clock on Thursday 17th April for two very special announcements!

WIAJ in UK charts

The band’s fourth album Wasp In A Jar is now a UK top 50 album. In fact, the UK Official Charts have the album in no less than 5 different charts! The album has secured positions in the Download Chart, the Physical Chart, a top 20 placing in the Independent Chart and even in the Scottish Chart. Most importantly, though, is the number 47 spot in the UK Official Album Chart.

This is a fantastic achievement for a self-financed, Crowdfunded release. We’d like to pass on our thanks to everyone out there that Crowdfunded the project, pre-ordered, downloaded or even purchased the album in an actual record shop. We couldn’t have done it without you…thanks!

Tour update

We’re pleased (and not a little relieved) to be able to confirm that Michael has been given a clean bill of health and is back to full match fitness for the Manchester and Sheffield gigs this weekend. Some tickets are available for both shows. 

Last night’s postponed Bristol show at Thunderbolt has now been rearranged for Friday 4th April. All tickets remain valid for this new date. If you are unable to attend, you will receive instructions about how to get a refund from your point of sale. There are a handful of tickets for this gig available. 

We’ll update you regarding the Brighton show as soon as we can.
