A REDDITCH pop-punk band loved by Green Day are set to reform in honour of a legendary music venue.
Punk rockers Funbug are said to be the only English band to sign to the American label Lookout! Records in the 90s, who released the first two Green Day albums.
They are set to reform for an event in celebration of the former Market Tavern in Kidderminster.
The Market Tavern will be getting its blue heritage plaque on Saturday (March 19), a pub that saw acts such as Radiohead, Catatonia and Robert Plant take to its stage in the 90s.
The plaque will be located at the flats at Ray Mercer Way, off Comberton Hill, where the venue stood before demolition.
A concert, which is now completely sold out, is being held at new Kidderminster venue 45 Live in the evening.
Funbug joins Fretblanket, a Stourbridge band from the 90s who have also reformed for the show.
