New Cross Live presents

Open Palms
Classic London emo-punk, Open Palms have it all. From angry retorts to the incompetent UK government, to a pop-punk look at relationship nostalgia, this is a band that promise to always deliver.

Not Like This
The London band that found the midpoint between frantic melodies of punk rock and the raw aggression of hardcore. Fresh off their debut EP, they’ve dove head first into the live scene with a fervour to match the music.

Halloran
Ruthlessly agressive music for a new generation with attitude. Blending hardcore, punk, metal and emo - expect intense guitar riffs, a punch to the face rhythm section and painfully honest lyrics.

Description

The New Cross Inn stands as a vital cultural artery in Southeast London, a long-established live music venue that consistently champions both international touring artists and burgeoning local talent. It functions as a significant hub for grassroots music, fostering a diverse community of performers and audiences, including a notable student presence from nearby Goldsmiths College.

Inside, the atmosphere is defined by a palpable energy, particularly when a performance ignites the room. The air often carries the faint scent of hops and the warmth of close-packed bodies, while the worn surfaces of the bar and stage bear the marks of countless memorable nights. The compact layout ensures an intimate connection between artist and audience, creating a raw, unfiltered experience.

Practical considerations are addressed with a commitment to accessibility, including a dedicated accessible toilet and a lowered section of the bar for wheelchair users. A wide selection of lagers, spirits, ales, and ciders, including local favourites, is readily available, with prices clearly displayed on chalkboards.

The venue maintains a robust schedule of events, offering live music six or seven nights a week, alongside regular open mic sessions. Its programming spans a broad spectrum of genres, from punk and ska to indie, metal, and alternative sounds, ensuring a dynamic and ever-evolving calendar of performances.
