The government has today confirmed that restrictions around capacity at music venues will be lifted as of next Monday.
This means that we can finally dance again! We will be reopening for all planned gigs and events from WED 21st JULY, with the front bar reopening every day for our regulars too. We’ve got a cracking summer of shows in the calendar; head HERE to take a look….
However, as we move towards ‘personal responsibility’, we’d like to encourage our customers to treat each other and staff with respect. These are strange times, and in order to pull through this, respect needs to be at the heart of what we do not just as a venue, but as a society.
Here are some brief guidelines on how things will be working at The Crescent.
We’re celebrating our 6th Birthday! It’s an honour to still be here, especially after everything that’s happened over the past 18 months.
We’re throwing a massive party to celebrate! And you’re all invited. Once again, tickets are only a fiver, so we advise purchasing in advance to guarantee entry.
Featuring some of your favourite Crescent DJ’s, as well as some of your favourite Crescent bands pretending to be DJs.
As well as a headline set from Boiler Room founder, Rhythm Section head honcho & NTS DJ Bradley Zero.
Electric Jalaba are a London based band taking Moroccan Gnawa music to a new dimension
A deep psychedelic, groove-heavy meeting between Moroccan Gnawa master Simo Lagnawi, Italian/English drummer Dave De Rose and four musical brothers; Henry, Oliver, Nathaniel and Barnaby Keen from Dorset (UK).
Traditional songs about colourful spirits, mysterious women, men that divide oceans and armies of conquerors weave themselves among enormous infectious grooves, analogue effects and warped guitars.
Elsa Hewitt is a songwriter and music producer from East Sussex via Yorkshire. Beginning as a young singer-songwriter producing demos on a four track, she progressed through fronting post-punk bands and solo electronic singer-songwriting, until her passion for recording and album-making would lead her to become known as a producer of avant-garde and experimental electronic music.
It’s me, Loulie, AKA the face that launched a thousand dicks! In this show I’ll examine relationships (all kinds, baby), mental health (other people’s, I’m fine) and perverts (that one is mainly me, actually). I’ll be oversharing, wanging on about spirituality and giving everyone some much unwanted advice.
Emerging from the ever growing Yorkshire music scene, Pavilion began their journey in late 2018 and haven’t looked back since. Comprising of Noah Hindle (Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), Jeanie Leach (Keys), Olly Chilton (Lead Guitar), Sonny Leach (Bass) and Max Pinckney (Drums), the five piece formed on the back of a love for music and the desire to create a sound unheard in today’s current indie scene.
Leeds-based R’n’B and electronic-pop trio POLO have a brand new record under their arm and are coming to play songs from it in York for the first time!
We’re chuffed to be programming our first concert at a brand new theatre on York St. John University campus, just near the SU on Lord Mayors Walk. Better still the show is with two good friends and extremely talented singer-songwriters Bella Gaffney (The Magpies) and Katie Spencer.
It’s a bit of a York secret how magic singer-songwriter Luke Saxton is. Somehow. We’re delighted to be presenting a rare headline show with Luke and his accomplices. He has a vast catalog of lilting, pop-infused, 60’s and 70’s influenced records to pull from and very likely some new material and new arrangements to boot.
