Rebellion Presents: Cock Sparrer and Infa Riot – at The Melkweg – Amsterdam, Holland

Being put on by the Rebellion crew this promised to be an exciting event. Fans convened in the Leidseplein bars beforehand, many having travelled great distances to see the show. On before Cock Sparrer were Infa Riot. Newly reformed they put on a good show, with front man Lee Wilson riling up the crowd. They belted out high energy songswhich kept the crowd going most popular was “Riot Riot” and “You ain't seen nothing yet”


Before coming on stage you could feel the room tingling with excitement over Cock Sparrer. As soon as they stepped on stage to the sirens going everyone roared and they smashed out their first song, Riot Squad. Fans sang along with big grins on their faces and the mosh pit was bouncing.

Tune after tune was played satisfying everyone. Taken ‘em All had everyone screaming out lyrics, and Argy Bargy was an obvious hit with the crowd. The boys were clearly enjoying themselves on stage and even 40 years on are still giving it their all.

The set went by too quickly but memorable songs were Where Are They Now and Because You’re Young. Cock Sparrer finished up with the favourite England Belongs To Me and We’re Coming Back. Sweaty, hot and smiling fans stalked out of the venue to enjoy more of the Dutch beers.


The rest of the night was spent hanging out in Murphys bar in the square. Good beers, good company, and what a fantastic gig that was!
