Vive Le Rock Awards Return For 2024

by | Jan 12, 2024

After last year’s sensational Vive Le Rock Awards at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, which we said would be our last, well… It would be rude not to come back and do it all again!

So, Friday April 12th will see the whole rock extravaganza steam roll into London’s O2 Academy Islington for another packed show of unique collaborations, celebrations and one-off performances. And 2024 is going to be a punky reggae party with a bill topped by original ’70s punks Jimmy Pursey, Sham 69 and Ruts DC performing a special never-to-be-repeated set with special guests, we can also now announce an intimate performance from Theatre Of Hate/Spear Of Destiny man Kirk Brandon, special guest performances from the iconic Toyah, rock ‘n’ roll king Jim Jones and the one and only Saffron from Republica, as well as new UK punks Grade 2 and Lily from fast rising punks The Meffs!

Maya Lane On The Hurt And The Healing: From Vulnerability to Growth

On a rain-soaked evening in London, rising singer-songwriter Maya Lane celebrated the release of her brand-new EP The Hurt And The Healing with an intimate show at The Grace. Just weeks earlier, we had met under sunnier skies at The Long Road Festival, beers and whiskies in hand, denim and sunshine everywhere. Now, umbrellas and storm clouds in tow, it felt fitting that Lane’s new project, a record that navigates through storms towards moments of calm, should arrive on a night like this.
