The List

Alexandra Palace

Alexandra Palace was built to be North London's answer to Crystal Palace, and had the great advantage of not being made of, well, glass. It was gutted in a fire only 16 days after opening, but the outside walls still stood and it was soon reconstructed; when the Crystal Palace burned down in 1936, there was nothing left. The Ally Pally was the original home of BBC Television, and still hosts a major radio/TV mast. Since the mid-50s, it's been an entertainment venue (with occasional periods of closure) and has hosted gigs by numerous bands, as well as sporting competitions and other events. The nearest Tube is Wood Green (PIccadilly) and the nearest mainline rail is Alexandra Palace. The Palace is served by the W3 bus route.

The Teskey Brothers

The Teskey Brothers

26 Jun 2025 - 10 Jul 2025

Sam and Josh Teskey discovered American soul music of the 1960's via their parents' record collection and were immediately taken. As teenagers, the two brothers jammed night after night in the bungalow behind their family home on the outskirts of Melbourne, devouring the R&B songbook and absorbing the tricks of the blues trade. In their obsession, the pair became accomplished players and soon began writing originals; a process which came naturally to both of them. In 2008, they were joined by Liam Gough (drums) and Brendon Love (bass) to form The Teskey Brothers. The group spent the next eight years cutting their teeth in city-fringe pubs and backyard party jams, honing the old-school Motown soul sound and working it into something of their own. Finally in 2017 The Teskey Brothers released their debut album Half Mile Harvest. The record, self-produced at their home studio in Warrandyte, captures the essence of old school soul that the four have grown to love and know over years of musical friendship. The songs are beautifully written, showcasing the musicianship at hand and dripping with warm melodious hooks as natural and alive as anything that came out of Stax-era Memphis. The rest of 2017 will see the band touring through Australia playing headline shows and festivals. They may have years under their belt but it feels like The Teskey Brothers are just getting started.

Ardal O'Hanlon - Not Himself

Ardal O'Hanlon - Not Himself

20 Sept 2025 - 8 Mar 2026

Oh, it’s all there! All the trademarks are in evidence in Ardal’s latest show. Beautifully crafted stand-up comedy? Yes. Celebrated use of language? Tick. Lateral thinking, surreal flourishes, sharp observations? Of course. As for the occasional profundity? Maybe. Despite his best attempts over many decades to put the world to rights, it is still a colossal mess. And so, Ardal has no choice but to go out on the road again. Like the good comedy doctor he is, he fearlessly diagnoses the various pathologies and neuroses that are currently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provided. After an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal reflects on who he is as a man and a comedian. He examines his own ethnic and religious background, and thinks twice about the very core of his identity as a voice of reason. Is everything a big lie? With no major trauma of his own to draw on for material, apart from the drag of getting older, he also turns his gaze outwards at the joys and follies of contemporary life. Towel Animals? A.I.? Chair Yoga? Cauliflower as a main course? Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes. No current idiocy is left unexamined. With a highly developed sense of the ridiculous, and proper comedy bones, NOT HIMSELF, is a testament to the healing power of humour. And the joy of jokes.

Electric Callboy

Electric Callboy

11 Nov 2025 - 11 Nov 2025

ELECTRIC CALLBOY are currently one of the hottest live acts when it comes to modern heavy sound. Completely sold-out shows all over Europe and one record breaking single release after the next are proof of the exceptional status that the band from Germany has achieved by now. "What an absolute amazing feeling to be back on stage! The Hypa Hypa European Tour 2022 already fills our hearts with pure joy and happiness! This is what we make music for. And because it sold out so fast, we decided to bring back the madness on stage next year! With new songs, a whole new show and the ultimate TEKKNO power! So be fast and get your ticket now!" Formed in 2010 under the name Eskimo Callboy, the band has already made plenty of noise in its first decade of existence, picking up newcomer awards, achieving top ten placements and causing a worldwide sensation, but judging by what's been going on in the last two years, that was just the prelude. Since the singer Nico Sallach, who joined the band in 2020, the guys from Castrop-Rauxel have been really going for it! The very first single with him broke all previous dimensions: "Hypa Hypa" not only reached over 60 million plays on YouTube and the usual streaming portals. The next single "We Got The Moves", which is also featured on the new album "TEKKNO", proved to be another hit. Especially the screamingly funny video, in which the band takes the piss out of themselves with undercut wigs and nose glasses in their typical self-deprecating manner, has been the talk of the town ever since and has received a lot of attention worldwide. The next hit, "Pump It," also featured on "TEKKNO," whose incredibly funny clip was inspired by the aerobics videos of the Eighties, also made waves. The community even demanded that the band participate in the Eurovision Song Contest for Germany with this song, whereupon the musicians spontaneously filmed an official application. However, participation in the national preliminary round for the ESC was rejected due to an alleged lack of radio suitability, triggering a storm of indignation against the jury that culminated in a petition with over 125,000 signatures. Once again, Eskimo Callboy were the talk of the town. Price includes a £1.75 venue restoration levy. This is a 8 + event - All under 14s must be accompanied by an adult (Under 25’s require ID (passport/driving licence) to purchase alcohol).

The Hives

The Hives

24 Nov 2025 - 29 Nov 2025

Formed in the small industrial town of Fagersta, Sweden in 1993, The Hives, then in their early teens, were saved from boredom and despair by Mr. Randy Fitzsimmons. He came to them with the idea to start a musical group based on everything he and the band found exciting. In the year 1999, the Hives have a new bag of tricks and a handful of Fitzsimmons originals. They know exactly what to do - record a record so good the world can't ignore it. They release Veni Vidi Vicious and nothing is ever the same. Rave reviews, more touring and that steadily growing cult following that can no longer fit into the clubs they play. A full year and a half of sold out shows later... Cue big time UK industry guy and all round music fan Alan McGee (Oasis, Primal Scream, Creation Records) sees the Hives on German TV and decides that this is important. He has the band put together a form of greatest hits for his Poptones label. Your New Favourite Band, as the result is dubbed, catches a sleeping England by surprise. Rock music that is exciting and dangerous not really being the toast of the town lately. Cue 'Rock is back!' headlines in newspapers and on TV. "We always knew the world would catch on, we just had to wait them in", as the band themselves say. Cue hits "Hate To Say I Told You So" and "Main Offender" and things are drastically different. People in the UK once again connect rock bands with showmanship, excitement and an actual good time. Your new favourite band? Indeed.
