Big Special

Big Special brings the British duo of Joe Hicklin and Callum Moloney to Pearl Street. Their music combines forceful, cathartic performances with existential writing about struggle, darkness, and everyday life.

The event page traces the group’s rapid rise from their first London headline show at the Dublin Castle in August 2023, when they had released only “Shithouse,” to a much larger performance at the O2 Forum Kentish Town roughly 20 months later. Their acclaimed 2024 debut album, *Postindustrial Hometown Blues*, grew from Hicklin’s voice memos, drum patterns, and handwritten couplets into a collection of anthems marked by honesty and intensity.
