Smith Vs Smiths Clubnight at The Baths

It’s time to get down — in every sense of the phrase! Join us for Smith Vs Smiths, Ipswich’s annual clubnight celebrating the iconic sounds of The Cure and The Smiths. Held at The Baths on Friday 23rd January 2026, this night is dedicated to the music of these legendary bands, plus the groups they’ve been part of, the artists they’ve inspired, and the musicians they personally loved.

What to Expect

With an incredible soundtrack lined up, this night is a true pleasure for music lovers. Furry resident DJs Ed Barnes and Jimmy Knott will be on the decks playing their favourite cuts, making sure you’re fully immersed in the glorious gloom. Alongside the classics from The Cure and The Smiths, you can expect atmospheric tunes from Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, and other “lumps of coal” to keep the vibes dark and danceable.

It’s Ipswich’s ultimate celebration of all things miserably danceable, perfectly blending the melancholy with the groove. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just looking for a night out steeped in some of the most beloved sounds of alternative music, this is the event for you.

Come revel in the misery, the music, and the community at Smith Vs Smiths. Heaven knows you’re miserable now… and we can’t wait to see you on the dancefloor!
