Friday 3rd October 2025: The Balkan Wanderers, The Mighty Redox, Higher Music State, The Cymbal Shards
Expect a cracking line-up and plenty of party atmosphere as we celebrate 34 years of organising gigs and putting on great music in Oxford. This gig is likely to be crowded with some people coming from far and wide to join us, so online booking is recommended.
The Balkan Wanderers
Inspired by both traditional folk and contemporary music, The Balkan Wanders are a brilliant Oxford-based five piece gypsy, ska, punk band, bringing non-stop musical flavours from across central and eastern Europe.
The Mighty Redox
Does the Mighty Redox need any introduction? Oxford's favourite punk hippies and longest running party band will be playing a high-energy eclectic mix of favourites old and new for your delight and entertainment.
Higher Music State
HMS, or Higher Music State if we are being formal, are a fun five piece who will peel you out of those seats and really get you swaying.
The Cymbal Shards
Getting the party started is The Cymbal Shards, a young local band who always go down well, and with each performance they become more polished,.... and taller.
