Today - it’s all go. First of all, tickets for the benefit concert for James Borrer we’re headlining in July, with Big Special and other bands tba, are on sale now!

www.theo2.co.uk/events/detail/benefit-james-borrer

Secondly, we’ve released the first batch of merchandise ahead of this September’s celebration of The Race For Space’s 10 (+1) year anniversary. There’s a pre-order window of a month to allow us to maximise postage optimisation / minimise over-ordering and wastage, but if you want to go and have a look over on our site, you’ll see that Graham Pilling has once again excelled himself and put together a lovely range of designs. Thanks, Graham!

www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/collections/trfs…

Speaking of Graham’s designs, we’ll also have some of his screenprint for sale nearer the time, as well as two other prints by some of our favourite artists. It’s all very exciting, and all to come.

For anyone still hoping for tickets to the show itself, we’re expecting to release a few production holds nearer the time, so do please register for the waiting list via the main site if you’re interested.

Lots of love, PSB HQ xxx

This is not - repeat not - a northern extension of The Race For Space celebration, but it will nevertheless be full of bells, whistles and nothing but hits (ahem). More info here if you’re interested in the whys and wherefores: www.patreon.com/posts/151244339

Wowee! Unbelievable news. Our Alexandra Palace show has sold out, in under 3 days… incredible. There may be a few late returns / unclaimed baskets out there, so do keep trying later this evening if you missed out, but otherwise that’s it.

When we first started talking about this show this time last year at PSB Towers, we all had to convince ourselves it was possible to sell something this big over the course of 8 months or so… to do it in less than 72 hours is genuinely mad. Thanks a lot for all your support, and now we can begin planning how to blow the budget on whizzes, bangs, and maybe a Sputnik 2.0, who can say.

Tickets for our The Race For Space 10(+1) year celebration at Alexandra Palace on 26 September are now on general sale:

publicservicebroadcasting.os.fan/trfs-signup

Pre-sale tickets were a fair old chunk of the total allocation, so we find ourselves in the very strange position of saying, erm, don’t take too long or it might actually sell out quite quickly.

Any questions (or anger) are hopefully answered (or assuaged) by the FAQ here: www.patreon.com/posts/148198747

We'll be pulling out all the stops, attempting to top the Brixton gig 11 years ago by going back to the venue where the album itself was launched, way back in 2014. Whizzes, bangs, nonsense galore on a scale hitherto not seen in camp PSB - please join us if you can, and bring several friends, too.

Tomorrow's the day - the day we can finally stop posting random photos and actually talk about what we're doing. Rejoice, people, rejoice!

To celebrate, here's a photo of a Mystery Member of PSB leaning against a similarly mysterious bus stop. A mystery prize to anyone who correctly guesses which member it is (NB: there is no prize, besides glory).

As a side note, if you're the kind of person who enjoys pre-sales and earlier access to tickets and all that kind of thing, we are approaching the event horizon of being able to sign up to the mailing list in time. Do so now or forever hold your peace...

Just two days to go now, for those of you on the edges of your respective seats, until we reveal what we'll be up to later this year. In the meantime, please enjoy this photograph sent to mailing list members on Friday, showing four spanking new astronaut suits as well as a new flag and - heavens! - a flagpole. Rumours that we were recently sighted on top of a tall building in London in this get-up cannot be denied... more news on Wednesday.

If you want to be the first receive stunning images of this nature then the mailing list, as usual, is the place to be. If you're not already signed up there, please do get moving in that general direction (www.publicservicebroadcasting.net/pages/mailing-li…) to ensure access to any kind of pre-sale to any kind of Big Anniversary Event type thing. Not that that's what we're doing, oh no.
