Rarely in the long history of British rock’n’roll has there been a story of such depth, magnitude and sheer turbulence as that of the Cockney Rejects.

Cockney Rejects were formed in the late Seventies in East London as an answer to the art school punk that had dominated the scene up until then. Fiercely working class in stance and attitude, the band eschewed the political ramblings of punk’s first wave and sang about the circumstances that surrounded them and millions of street kids in Britain’s inner cities- Police harassment, street battles and football to name three.

Signed by EMI after playing four local gigs (less than the pistols!) they found themselves playing sell out tours the length and breadth of the UK and seeing their debut album storm the charts. Top of the pops appearances followed, which became the stuff of legend as the band generally ran amok in the hallowed White city studios, finally getting banned from the show for their boisterous behaviour.

The band returned to the live circuit in 2000 playing to hundreds of thousands of people across the globe with a live set that is so energetic that it has to be seen to be believed. With the fractionalization of the late ‘70’s and early ‘80’s now gone for good, every gig has become a party for fans and band alike.

Led by legendary frontman Jeff “Stinky” Turner, there has never been a better time to check out the band that inspired a generation with their timeless brand of terrace sing along classics and white hot live set. Join the Rejects - You won’t have a better night out all year!

WITH SUPPORT FROM BRIGHTON-BASED OI PUNK BAND CRIMINAL DAMAGE AND LIVELY WORTHING-BASED BAND THE CLUBHEADS

The Clubheads are a three-piece punk band from Brighton that combine frantic riffs, blistering drums and explosive vocals. Their live shows are extremely energetic, so much so that they end up shirtless practically every gig. They leave all their energy on-stage, (along with sweat and beer) all while playing punk bangers that are musically raw and intriguing.
