ASH announce 30th anniversary edition of seminal debut album 1977 alongside extensive UK and international tour dates.

Originally released in 1996, 1977 is the #1 platinum-selling debut album that launched Ash from teenage upstarts to Britpop-era icons. Three decades on, this 30th Anniversary Edition celebrates the album that defined a generation with its breakneck energy, razor-sharp hooks and unforgettable anthems including ‘Girl From Mars,’, ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Kung Fu’ and ‘Oh Yeah’. The 30th Anniversary Edition will be available on 2LP EcoRecord Green & Black ‘InkPlosion’ vinyl in a Gatefold Sleeve, 2CD Digisleeve plus booklet, and digitally. Pre-save / Pre-order the new collection HERE.

Also announced today is a very special live streamed concert from the band, direct from Belfast's Oh Yeah Centre. Taking place on 6th May 2026 (30 years to the day since 1977's original release) at 8pm BST, the event is a must for fans old and new. Ash will play an intimate live acoustic set of those classic tracks from the album and the evening will be hosted by BBC Introducing’s Taylor Johnson, who will be chatting to the band and delving into the stories and inspirations behind the music that defined a generation. Whether you’re eager to relive the nostalgia of your 90’s teenage years or are discovering Ash for the first time, this is a unique opportunity not to be missed.

The digital and 2CD edition features on Disc 1 the original album in full - 12 tracks of high-voltage power-pop that still sound as urgent and melodic as ever, such as ‘Lose Control’ and ‘Darkside Lightside’. It also includes four additional tracks: the long-lost, near-mythical track ‘Bittersweet Blue’, ‘Oh Yeah (2026 version), ‘Girl From Mars (Demo 2026 Mix) and ‘Gone The Dream (Acoustic 2026 Mix)’.

Disc 2 captures a special live set from STABAL Studios in 2021, where the band perform 1977 in full, along with fan favourites from the era, including 'Oh Yeah’ released as the first track from the performance, plus 'Coasting', 'Sneaker', 'American Devil', and 'Silver Surfer'.

The 2LP presents the original album across LP1 with a specially curated collection of B-sides on LP2, that highlight the depth and creativity of the 1977 era. Standout tracks include ‘Day Of The Triffids’, ‘Luther Ingo’s Star Cruiser’, ‘Astra Conversations With Toulouse Lautrec’, ‘Cantina Band’, ‘Sneaker’, ‘T Rex’ and more.
