British Christian punk rock band prepares a run of performances from August to February as it expands its international presence and enters an exciting new chapter in its career
Peter118 has announced a new series of live dates across the United Kingdom, strengthening its presence on the British independent music circuit. The schedule features performances in several cities and well-known venues within the alternative scene, bringing audiences a powerful blend of punk rock, high-energy live shows and songs centred on faith, hope, love and transformation.
Founded by Peter Szczepanski, the band began taking shape between 2012 and 2014, drawing from the musician’s experience in the Stoke-on-Trent punk scene and his conversion to Christianity in 2005. Over more than a decade, the project has evolved through different line-ups and musical periods, with Peter remaining its principal creative force.
Influenced by Green Day, Rancid, The Offspring and Ramones, Peter118 is known for short, direct and accessible songs, memorable choruses and intense performances. The band’s sound combines the attitude of punk rock with uplifting messages, creating an identity that resonates with both Christian audiences and the wider secular public.
The new tour includes performances at 32 Long St and Hayloft on 29 August; Hogshead Wolverhampton on 30 August; Supersonic Bar on 4 September; The Polished Knob on 5 September; as well as two appearances on 20 September at Bikers Church and The Cock & Greyhound.
The schedule continues in November with shows at Elements Live Lounge, The Jesse Boot and The Old Post Office. In December, the band will perform at Moorland Inn, Albert’s Corner, Supersonic Bar and The Butchers Arms. The announced calendar also includes a performance at The Latch Lifter on 7 February.
A new chapter and international expansion
The tour arrives at an important moment for Peter118. After years of independent growth, the band is expanding its international exposure and focusing its strategy on new releases, digital content production, live performances and growth into Latin America.
Among its recent achievements is the success of **”Die For You”**, which reached number one on Amazon Music UK in the new rock releases category and also ranked among the platform’s bestselling songs. Meanwhile, **”This Town”** climbed to number 12 on a general UK chart featuring both Christian artists and mainstream secular acts. The achievement is particularly significant because of the breadth of the competition, marking another important milestone in Peter118’s journey.
The band’s repertoire includes tracks such as **”Radio”**, **”Need You More”**, **”Make It or Break It”**, **”Waiting”**, **”Excrutiantal”**, **”Great I Am”**, **”Money & Lies”**, **”For Your Glory”**, **”Rolling Stone”**, **”Thinking of You”**, **”Rise in Me”**, **”Die For You”** and **”This Town”**. Their discography also features the EPs *UK Christian Punk Rock*, *Anthology* and *Live in L.A.*
Peter118’s international journey has already taken the band across the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Japan and Poland, including appearances at festivals such as Slam Dunk Festival, Rainbow Rock Festivals, Meltdown Festival, Rock Alive Festival, Edinburgh Festival, The Objective Festival and Slot Art Fest.
