EXTC: The XTC Live Experience

XTC’s Classic Sound Returns to the Stage – Live with EXTC!

For the first time in nearly four decades, the iconic music of XTC is back where it belongs—live on stage! Legendary XTC drummer Terry Chambers leads EXTC, a powerhouse band bringing the band’s beloved post-punk and new wave hits to life with electrifying energy.

From global tours with The Police and Talking Heads to cult-classic anthems like Senses Working Overtime, Life Begins at the Hop, Mayor of Simpleton, Generals and Majors, and more, XTC shaped a generation—only to stop touring in 1982. Now, EXTC delivers the live experience fans have waited for, with Chambers joined by dynamic front man Steve Hampton (Joe Jackson, The Vapors) and bassist Terry Lines (The Rams). Get ready to relive the soundtrack of a generation—live, loud, and unforgettable!
