New Model Army
British post-punk rock legends New Model Army perform at Melkweg in Amsterdam.
New Model Army are an English post-punk rock band from Bradford, formed in 1980 by vocalist and guitarist Justin Sullivan. Blending punk energy with folk influences and sharply political lyrics, they have built a devoted following across Europe over more than four decades. Albums such as 'The Ghost of Cain' (1986) and 'Thunder and Consolation' (1989) are landmarks of the genre, and their 16th studio album 'Unbroken' (2024) showed the band still at full force.
New Model Army announced a show on 26 July 2026 in Munich (Backstage Open Air), as a supplement to the already planned European dates.
The band closed the two-year Unbroken tour with sold-out shows in Nottingham (Rock City) and a performance in Amsterdam (Melkweg) on 21 December 2025.
Drummer Michael Dean underwent neck surgery following persistent nerve problems in both arms, causing all remaining 2024 tour dates to be postponed to 2025.
'Unbroken' reached number 1 position in the British rock album chart and ranked #5 in Germany and #11 in the Dutch vinyl chart.
New Model Army released their 16th studio album 'Unbroken' on 26 January 2024, produced by Tchad Blake.
