Euroheedfest 14: Annual Guided By Voices Fan Event
EuroHeedfest, the essential annual Europe-based gathering for Guided By Voices and Robert Pollard fans worldwide, returns for its 14th edition and its second year at our new home, The George Tavern in East London. Expect quality live music, free-flowing drinks, and animated conversation with fellow obsessives. EuroHeedfest house band Band of Pricks, performing their customary GBV hits and live favourites, plus a full performance of Under The Bushes Under The Stars in celebration of its 30th anniversary. Special guests Your Volunteer Fire Department, a South-East London supergroup featuring members of Baggio and others, playing favourites from the GBV/Pollard canon. We are very much hoping to welcome back Cocks of the Block, featuring GBV superfan Carl Dalemo and Björn Ågren of Razorlight, for their first appearance in four years. Their return is intended but must remain TBC, pending Razorlight’s touring schedule. Following last year’s first visit from US comrades, we’re delighted to welcome Teenage FBI for their London debut. Owen, Jackson and Stephen are US HeedFest veterans, performing material spanning the entire Guided By Voices catalogue. Returning for their third appearance after rousing opening sets in 2024 and 2025 are Angus Knight’s Airshow '88. As ever, there will be an acoustic open mic in the garden from shortly after doors until the first band starts, so arrive early if you’d like to play, watch fellow fans, or catch some surprise performances.

Enter MLEKO: a seven-piece. They twist, howl, and hold you over the edge with ever-so-slightly clammy hands. Beauty crosscut with beast and a side of sincerity... lathered in levity.

Who Killed The Disco? - Emily Jeffri

Who Killed The Disco? - Emily Jeffri

14 Apr 2026 - 14 Apr 2026

Think you’ve got what it takes to get away with murder? Then we think you’d enjoy an electric, spell-binding concert with a chilling twist: murder on the dancefloor... Before the show, one of you will be plucked away from the rest and handed 15 red cards - if this is you, then you have been assigned the role of Murderer. The Murderer will have the duration of the concert to discreetly hand out all red cards, completely undetected by fellow concert-goers. Towards the end of Jeffri’s show, she will ask the crowd to attempt to identify you. If unable, the price of your concert ticket will be completely refunded and you will be invited up on stage to dance along with Emily to her closing song. Fans are encouraged to dress up as thought extras in a cheesy horror flick: drenched in fake blood, funky wigs, a handful of glowsticks and wild makeup. Think A24’s Bodies, Bodies, Bodies. Let’s have some fun. Think you’ve got what it takes to get away with murder?

In the fifteen years they’ve been active the group has undergone various lineup changes, but when their younger brother Cade joined on bass in 2022, something transformed: the brotherhood of the members was no longer incidental, but essential. For SWMRS now, family is everything- and you’re invited to join theirs. \ £1 off our pizza with this ticket! Presented by MDST This is an 18+ event
You Wanted A Party?

You Wanted A Party?

24 Apr 2026 - 24 Apr 2026

Eccentric, camp, hot, and painfully post-modern... You wanted a party? Inspired by the sounds and styles of early-2000s New York and the rise of modern indie-pop-party-punk-disco-sleaze, You Wanted a Party? is the next big indie sleaze night, where punk is the new disco, and disco is the new punk. Think LCD Soundsystem posing with Charli XCX, on a Blue Monday, in London, calling for slacked jawed The Dare, whose powder covered face has just kissed Julian Casablancas’ vodka-lime-soda-tasting lips.
