Like Enter Shikari, Don Broco – Rob Damiani, Simon Delaney, Tom Doyle and Matt Donnelly – are no strangers to the University of Hertfordshire Students’ Union venue having played the main stage of Slam Dunk South 2015 in Hatfield.

After releasing debut album Priorities in 2012, the Bedford-based rock quartet’s second studio release, Automatic, reached the UK top 10 last year.

The Forum date will be Don Broco’s last gig of the year and the band will play a full set.
