Squeeze, Adam Ant & Haircut 100 in Cary on August 23, 2026

Why This Concert Matters

Squeeze’s concert in Cary is part of the “Tried, Tested and Trixies” tour supporting the band’s new album, Trixies, which was released on March 6, 2026, and marked Squeeze’s first new album in eight years. The 13-track album draws on material Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook wrote in 1974, when they were teenagers, before the songs were reworked around a fictional nightclub concept.

The tour combines the new material with Squeeze’s classic catalogue, as seen in recent 2026 shows that featured several Trixies songs alongside well-known tracks such as “Pulling Mussels (From the Shell),” “Up the Junction,” “Cool for Cats,” “Tempted,” and “Take Me I’m Yours.” The Cary concert also brings together three notable acts from the British music scene, with Squeeze headlining and Adam Ant and Haircut 100 appearing as special guests.
