The Horn pub in St Albans has confirmed plans for an event to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Based on Victoria Street, the watering hole opened in 1974 and has been a staple of the city ever since.

Over the years, acts including Bastille, U2 and Tom Grennan have graced the venue.

Earlier this year, plans were plans for a commemorative book and a range of other merchandise to mark the occasion.

This week, details have been confirmed of an event that will celebrate the establishment's rich five-decade history.

Taking place on November 23, the "huge" party promises to celebrate 50 years of live music at The Horn.

Hertfordshire alt-rock band Allergy will return to The Horn to play a unique set comprised of covers from the last five decades.
