Indie icons Hard-Fi are confirmed as the headline act for the Big Summer Kick-Off at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Saturday 16th May.

Rugby meets live music in a blockbuster afternoon at the Home of England Rugby, as Harlequins take on Exeter Chiefs (4pm KO) in their penultimate home fixture of the 2025/26 season - with a huge pre-match performance designed to raise the energy levels in-bowl ahead of kick-off.

Hard-Fi will bring their unmistakable indie sound back to home turf, having first forged their identity just miles away in Staines-upon-Thames. With platinum-selling albums Stars of CCTV and Once Upon a Time in the West, the band will deliver a high-energy set filled with era-defining anthems.

Supporters can expect the pre-match to come alive to iconic hits including Hard to Beat and Living for the Weekend, setting the tone for a massive day of rugby and entertainment in Southwest London.

Hard-Fi lead singer, Richard Archer said: "I used to look down at the old Twickenham stadium from my aunt’s flat, so I’m very excited and honoured to be playing at Allianz Stadium with Harlequins! It’s going to be a great day and only two stops on the train!"

The party doesn’t stop at kick-off. Renowned live singalong band Massaoke will keep the energy high post-match in the West Fan Village, rounding off a full day of entertainment on and off the pitch.
