SHAM 69, RUTS DC, JIM JONES AND TOYAH JOIN A HOST OF PUNK ROCK N’ROLL ICONS AT THE 2024 VIVE LE ROCK AWARDS AT THE O2 ISLINGTON ACADEMY, APRIL 12TH
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!
Vive Le Rock magazine is extremely proud to announce that UK post punk legends Theatre Of Hate will celebrate their founder Kirk Brandon’s VLR award with a special 30-minute awards set at O2 Islington Academy on April 12th. Brandon and Theatre Of Hate are known for hits including ‘Do You Believe In The Westworld’ and ‘The Hop’ and recently completed a mammoth 32 date U.S tour. Theatre Of Hate tour the UK in April.
And in other post punk news, there will be a special tribute to the great Killing Joke guitarist Geordie Walker at the VLR’s, with contributions from Jaz Coleman and the Vive Le Rockers playing a special song for the greatly missed punk legend.
They join the already announced special 30-minute award sets from Hersham Boys Sham 69, and Ruts DC, who will feature very special guests in their one-off appearance, alongside special guest performances from the iconic TOYAH, rock n’ roll king JIM JONES and the one and only Saffron from REPUBLICA, plus Lily from fast rising punks THE MEFFS!
And that’s not forgetting the mighty VIVE LE ROCKERS all-star band, led by the inimitable Paul-Ronney Angel!
A five hour show with a full programme of awards, winners and celebrity presenters, there’s only one place to be in April and that’s the 2024 VLRs!
“It’s no exaggeration to say that last year’s Vive Le Rock Awards was many peoples show of 2023,” says Vive Le Rock editor Eugene Butcher. “And this year we have more unique collaborations, one off performances and special guests for a wild night for friends old and new to join together and celebrate these legends of rock n’ roll!”
Tickets and special VIP packages including aftershow party, VLR Two Tone Annual and special Awards T-shirt are available HERE:
