Zak Starkey joins Dystopia Tonight for a wide-ranging conversation about music, legacy, and life behind the drum kit. As one of the most respected drummers of his generation, Zak has carved out his own unmistakable voice while playing with bands like The Who and Oasis, building a career that honors rock history without being trapped by it. In this episode, Zak talks about growing up surrounded by music, finding his own rhythm in the shadow of a legendary name, and what still excites him about playing live today. We dig into touring, creativity, and the strange balance between tradition and rebellion that defines great rock ’n’ roll. Zak will be performing live at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City on February 20, and this conversation is the perfect lead-in to seeing him in his natural habitat: onstage, loud, and unapologetically himself.
