CURRENT LINE UP

Suggested Friends - London-based quartet blend 70s soft rock and 90s indie to create heartfelt, bittersweet songs about the trivial complexities of life. Odd Box Records released their single 'Chicken/Called Her Out In The Worst Way' and their eponymous debut album in 2017 - catch them HERE!

Jelly Cleaver - with an eclectic taste in music, Jelly is heavily involved in both the jazz and DIY/punk scenes in London. She's also an activist, and a strain of political dissent runs through her music. Her latest single 'VI II V' has been premiered on Moses Boyd's show on BBC 1xtra, as well as being played on Jazz FM and Worldwide FM. Be sure to watch the stunning video to 'VI II V' .

Macadamia Sluts - DIY pop-punk grrrls with a thumping heart & jagged edges. Fill your ears !

IRN Brunette - four-piece queer glam punk. Angry but positive, radical but gentle and here to remind you that you are FABULOUS. Give them a cheeky listen.

Zayn Phallic - the drag king with a heart (and hard on) of gold. More info to come - in the mean time cast your peeps on their Insta

Carlos Al Dick - Camilla "Milly" Harding (she/they) is a London based performer that exists somewhere between the maker, drag artist and actor: an openly queer, biracial gender fluid performer who makes work that questions and challenges the heteronormative, celebrates queerness and pokes fun at the establishment. Go snoop their Insta!:

MORE ACTS TBC - WATCH THIS SPACE 😍

TICKETS
Tickets priced at general rate of £10, with options of £5 concessions for people without or on low incomes, and some tickets reserved for Pay What You Can. If you are able to buy general or concession tickets please do so and leave PWYC tickets for those who would otherwise not be able to attend.

VENUE
Arcola is an accessible venue - the event will take place in the ground floor bar and first floor studio area, both levels accessible by elevator. Toilets can also be reached by elevator, located on basement level. Toilets are gender-neutral.

The foyer as you enter the building is a quieter, more well lit space away from the main bar where people can chill and get some space from dense crowds and noise whenever needed.

SAFE SPACE POLICY
People attending will be expected to follow the night's safer spaces policy:
- treat each other with respect and always respect others' autonomy: their space, bodies, identities, ideas.
- zero tolerance of harassment or abuse: please report any experienced or witnessed instances of such behaviour to security or a volunteer. Anyone engaging in abuse or harassment of others will need to leave.
- try not to make assumptions of others' based on their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or otherwise.
- be mindful of others' experiences and backgrounds: be wary of discomfort in others and respect that if something is difficult for someone else to hear/discuss it might be best to leave it.
- please ask before taking photos of others

FUNDS
This night is in support of the #BoycottEurovision2019 campaign, part of the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. For more information on Boycott Eurovision please follow this link.

All profits from ticket sales will be going to London Palestine Action, a network of people taking creative action against Israeli apartheid. Click here to find out more about their work.

OH and BE SURE to watch their Bucks Fizz Eurovision parody - 'Cultural Boycott'!

❤️ See you at the trashiest night of the year ❤️
