A rare appearance from Cock Sparrer headlines a magnificent array of the best in Punk - get in there!
It’s hard to believe that Vive Le Rock magazine will be 15 years old this year! Well known on the shelves and in the industry as the top printed read on all things Punk, Rock, and Alternative, the publication has gone from strength to strength over the years.
Chief Editor Eugene Butcher had hinted that there would be something special happening this year, in place of the customary Vive Le Rock Awards, and was delighted to announce this special 15th Anniversary show happening at the O2 Academy in Islington, London.
With a line up headed by the mighty Cock Sparrer, plus Maid of Ace, Knock Off, and Punktuation ‘band to watch in 2025‘ Split Dogs, it’s looking to be an amazing celebration! Special guests Desperate Measures and ‘The Human Punks‘ – I wonder who they could be? ;) will also brighten up the evening!
Tickets have been flying out – if you’re lucky you may still get one HERE

Usually found jumping around down the front at gigs, I also relish taking photos and videos, singing, speaking with fellow music fans, and asking musicians the questions nobody else does. Writing about my favourite bands and connecting with people who love music too keeps me more-or-less sane! I’ve worked for over 25 years at a video production company, mainly filming live music events, therefore I have an additional backstage perspective on the scene.
