WitchDoktors with Damage UK & The Phobics at the Fighting Cocks Kingston
Genre : Music - General
Punk'n'Roll Party at the Fighting Cocks Kingston, featuring the legendary WITCHDOKTORS, with DAMAGE UK and THE PHOBICS. Friday 5th September 2025. Advanced tickets only £12 plus booking.
WITCHDOKTORS - are legends, almost. Formed in 1992 they have long established themselves as one of the UK's leading Rock'n'Roll punk bands. The WitchDoktors cocktail consists of a double measures of 70's punk (upbringing of Ramones, Clash, Pistols, Damned etc) and a good ol' full measure of trashy rock'n'roll-a-billy, a dash of 60's Psyche-Out Garage and a bitter slice of country on the rocks! They will likely share an early taster for the forthcoming album!

DAMAGE-UK - emerged from the ashes of First Wave British Teen-Punks Nuffin', who were there in 1977 at the legendary Roxy Club. Damage UK formed in 2020 and play all new Punk'n'Roll music from their two recent albums - still channelling the vibe from that original Punk explosion.

THE PHOBICS - formed in Deptford in 1999 by a bunch of punk survivors and misfits with a love of raw Rock?n'Roll.

For decades, The Fighting Cocks has served as a vital cultural artery in Kingston upon Thames, establishing itself as a cornerstone of the London live circuit. Its walls hold a rich musical heritage, dating back to the 1930s, consistently drawing both local patrons and those from further afield seeking authentic live entertainment.
Inside, the atmosphere is distinctly charged, with the low hum of conversation often punctuated by the thrum of a bass guitar or the ripple of laughter. The decor, a blend of red leather and motorcycle blacks, creates a bold, unpretentious setting, while the scent of hops and aged wood hangs subtly in the air.
The bar offers a considered selection of draft and bottled beers, alongside expertly mixed cocktails and traditional real ales. Practicality is also addressed, with disabled access available throughout the venue, including the dedicated performance space.
Throughout the week, the venue hosts a diverse programme of events. Audiences can expect a steady stream of live music spanning various genres, from rock and punk to folk and alternative, alongside acclaimed comedy nights that regularly feature both emerging talents and established names.
