FM – Celebrating 40 Years of Indiscreet
British melodic rock icons FM are performing shows to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their legendary debut album Indiscreet — originally released in 1986. The album that first introduced the band’s soaring melodies, anthemic choruses, and unmistakable style remains a cornerstone of the UK rock scene, and these special shows promise to be a true celebration of four decades of music.

Formed in the mid-’80s by brothers Steve and Chris Overland, FM quickly became one of Britain’s most enduring and respected rock bands, earning acclaim for their powerful live performances and chart-topping releases. Today’s line-up — Steve Overland (vocals), Merv Goldsworthy (bass), Pete Jupp (drums), Jem Davis (keyboards) and Jim Kirkpatrick (guitar) — continues to embody the band’s signature blend of melody and muscle.

“From our meeting in a Notting Hill pub in 1984 to our ‘one-off’ comeback gig at Firefest 2007, it’s amazing to still be doing this,” says drummer Pete Jupp. “Who’d have thought we’d reach such a milestone — and still be rocking harder than ever!”
