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. Note a slight change to the original proceedings will see Marco Pirroni, a member of the original Banshees line-up and a central figure in the early punk and post-punk scene, take part in an on-stage ‘In Conversation’ Q&A. Drawing on his newly published book, Marco will share memories and stories from a period that transformed British music and culture. His new book will be available to purchase on the night, with an opportunity to meet Marco and have copies personally signed. Set against the backdrop of the historic 100 Club, the second night celebrates the raw beginnings of punk and the creativity, experimentation and influence that continued long after 1976.
