Cambridge Corn Exchange, 17 Feb 2026
This year, Maxïmo Park's beloved debut album A Certain Trigger turns 20 years old. The band will be celebrating the anniversary by performing songs from A Certain Trigger and their greatest hits across the UK 2026.
The Mercury Prize-nominated record, produced by Paul Epworth and released on Warp, arrived with a trio of iconic singles in 'Apply Some Pressure', 'Graffiti', and 'Going Missing', each of which still define the indie disco experience for many to this day. Released at the time into a landscape soon to become dominated by ten-a-penny guitar bands, with _A Certain Trigger_ Maxïmo Park were the bookish, livewire outsiders, bursting with punk power, pop sensibility and literary smarts. Even their signing to Warp records - a label predominantly known for its experimental and electronic roster at the time - suggested a band with its eyes set beyond the horizon.
Almost immediately, and certainly in the time since its release, A Certain Trigger has installed itself as a scene staple, and a curiosity of the 00s that packs as much power today as it did 20 years ago.
