Multiple venues. One wristband. One very special night of rock & roll
For one unmissable night, Colchester city centre will come alive with an incredible line-up across multiple independent venues — all accessible with just one wristband. Expect raw energy, packed rooms and an atmosphere like no other, as artists unite to play more, and play louder, in support of the Nick Alexander Music Trust.
Leading the charge are the incredible Mercury Prize & Brit Award nominated alt-rock powerhouse Nova Twins alongside Colchester’s own conquering punk heroes Pet Needs, grunge powerhouse Bridget and special guests still to be revealed. They’ll be joined by a blistering mix of established names, underground favourites and fast-rising newcomers spanning punk, indie, hip-hop, alt-rock and beyond.
On the bill: Ben Brown • Bridget • Dave J Giles • Deux Furieuses • False Heads • Freya Beer • Hobo Chang • Hoof! • Honkus Rompus • Lawrence Langmead's Normality • Lost Movies • Non Canon • Oi MATE! • Oxygen Thief • Shed • Silver Light Reaction • The Judas Project • The Lamplight Club • The Wicked Ravens • Wilswood Buoys • X-Kaminski • artists from CLIP • + many more.
This special edition of the A Peaceful Noise gig series — which has previously hosted intimate, breathtaking performances from the likes of Joshua Homme, Frank Turner, Tom Grennan and Gaz Coombes — marks the 10th anniversary of the Bataclan terror attack, where Nick Alexander tragically lost his life aged just 35.
Proceeds from the event will go directly to the Nick Alexander Music Trust, providing instruments and equipment to disadvantaged community groups across the UK, ensuring music continues to inspire and empower future generations. A percentage will also be donated to the Mayor’s Charities
Join us. Play More. Play Louder.
