Desperate Measures Tickets

Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, Desperate Measures formed in 1981 and have since redefined their sound from the antipodes to the heart of London's punk scene. Blending high-energy punk with rock influences, their music draws comparisons to classic acts like the Sex Pistols, Guns N' Roses, and Iggy & the Stooges, delivering raw, charged performances that light up stages worldwide.
