About this album

Nocturne is a ferocious live document of Siouxsie & The Banshees at their most commanding. Released in 1983, it captures the band in peak form, turning post-punk tension, gothic atmosphere and sharp pop instincts into a taut stage statement. Recorded across performances at London’s Royal Albert Hall and Birmingham’s McGaw Hall, the album draws on key songs from their early catalogue, including ‘Spellbound’, ‘Happy House’ and ‘Israel’, while also revisiting ‘Dear Prudence’ with striking force. More than a simple concert souvenir, Nocturne helped cement the band’s reputation as one of the era’s most compelling live acts.

Genre: Pop & Rock
