🎹 Monty Oxymoron – Live at The Camden Club
Sunday 22 February 2026
A very special afternoon awaits at The Camden Club as Monty Oxymoron, the irrepressible keyboard maestro of The Damned, steps out for an intimate solo performance built around his brand-new album, The Piano Plays Til Midnight — a collection of beautiful, atmospheric piano renditions of classic Damned songs.
If you’re a Damned fan, this one’s practically made for you.
🌟 About Monty Oxymoron
Since joining The Damned in 1996, Monty has been one of the band’s beating hearts — exuberant, unpredictable, endlessly creative. His flamboyant performance style has lit up stages around the world, and his contributions to albums like Grave Disorder, Evil Spirits, Darkadelic and their new album of cover versions, Not Like Everybody Else have cemented his place in the band’s long, genre-shifting history.
But Monty’s musical world stretches far beyond punk’s boundaries. A multi-instrumentalist, composer and experimentalist, he’s spent decades diving into psychedelic textures, cinematic ambience and off-the-wall improvisation.
With The Piano Plays Til Midnight, he’s done something fans have quietly dreamt of for years: he’s taken the emotional core of The Damned’s music and reimagined it at the piano — tender, haunting, dramatic and unexpectedly elegant.
And at The Camden Club, he’ll be performing the album in full.
Expect:
Piano interpretations of Damned favourites, from the iconic to the deep cuts
Monty’s trademark humour and storytelling, including tales from life inside one of Britain’s most influential bands
A warm, theatrical, slightly surreal evening… because it wouldn’t be Monty otherwise

Supporting Monty is the ever-enigmatic Dr Spacetoad, a psychedelic troubadour with long-standing links to both Monty Oxymoron and Captain Sensible. His blend of space-folk guitar, surreal storytelling and gently off-kilter charm makes him the perfect prelude to the night’s piano re-imaginings of Damned classics. Expect something unusual, melodic and quietly mesmerising.
