We’re delighted to be welcoming back the legendary Cosmic Slop crew over from Leeds once again for a no genres barred Community Disco!

Expect lots of genre hopping and unexpected gems! 100% of profits from this night will go towards supporting MAP who help young people in Leeds who are unable to access mainstream schooling find skills and work in the creative industries.
King No-One, The White Roses + City Snakes
King No-One are returning to their hometown for an incredibly special one off show. They’ll be doing two unique sets: One will be a throwback, incorporating all the best of their formative stages. And the second will be a newer set with all the bangers, fan favourites and a taste of the new direction that has seen them go from a small York band, to an internationally touring act.
Irie Vibes: State of Satta (Live)
Our next session sees the return of State of Satta! They blew us away when they played here last year and we can’t wait to have them back!
