The second night of the 50th anniversary celebrations at the 100 Club continues by honouring the legacy of the original 100 Club Punk Festival, bringing together artists whose music helped shape the future of punk and alternative music.
Support for the evening is TV Smith and The Bored Teenagers, performing a special and exclusive Adverts ‘77 set that revisits the sharp songwriting and outsider spirit that made The Adverts one of punk’s most influential bands. TV Smith’s live performances remain celebrated for his intensity, intelligence and emotional honesty, capturing the atmosphere of punk at its most vital.
Headlining the night is John McKay’s Reactor, led by the pioneering guitarist whose innovative playing with Siouxsie and the Banshees helped redefine the possibilities of post-punk guitar music. Atmospheric and hugely influential, McKay’s sound became a blueprint for countless bands that followed.
The evening will be hosted by Marco Pirroni, a member of the original Banshees line-up and a central figure in the early punk and post-punk scene. Throughout the night, he will share memories and stories from a period that transformed British music and culture.
Set against the backdrop of the historic 100 Club, the second night celebrates not only the raw beginnings of punk, but also the creativity, experimentation and influence that continued long after 1976.
