Taking Back Thursdays goes full horror this Christmas with Merry Axemas - a blood-soaked celebration of everything emo, metalcore, nu metal, pop punk and alt. Deck the halls (and dodge the axe) at Suburbia Southampton on Thursday 10th December 2026, doors 10:30pm till late.

Dress code: Horror/Xmas fancy dress - think slasher-movie Santas, killer elves and anything that mixes twisted festive cheer with pure nightmare fuel.

Drink specials all night: 2 cocktails for £10 and 3 shots for £12 (on selected shots).

Taking Back Thursdays runs bi-weekly, bringing Southampton's biggest emo/metalcore/nu metal/pop punk/alt anthems - this time with a horror Christmas twist you won't want to miss.
