SUMMARY:Deviant + The Go Go Cult + Palindrones + This Is Radio Silence
DESCRIPTION:eat:Cancer & Church of Madness are back at Facebar\, Reading on the Sat 30th May 2026 \n\n\n\nFeaturing four bands & afterparty DJs playing Synthpop\, EBM\, industrial & more. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nDeviant \n\n\n\nDeviant require no introduction. Formed in 2004 by devilishly charismatic frontman Jay Smith\, they became ubiquitous mainstays of the UK dark alternative scene for the next decade\, touring relentlessly throughout the UK\, Europe\, and the US. \n\n\n\nEqual parts industrial\, goth and pop science\, the sound is built on atmosphere yet anchored by force. A very British strain of iconic darkness. \n\n\n\nDeviant released two successful albums ‘Barbed Wire Star’ and ‘Very Bad Things’\, spawning the classics ‘Access Denied!’\, ‘Raptured Saints’\, and ‘Wreckhead’. Alongside his own immediately recognisable sound\, Smith has lent his voice to collaborations with many scene heavyweights including Project Pitchfork\, Rotersand\, Tyskke Ludder\, and Angels & Agony. \n\n\n\nWith a reputation for spectacular and energetic live shows\, Smith’s inimitable stage presence\, iconic imagery and fist-in-the-air anthems make Deviant a must-see act. Jay Smith doesn’t plead for attention; he assumes it. \n\n\n\nNow\, in 2026\, Deviant return bigger\, better\, and every bit as vital with a thumping new single ‘Resurrect Me’ and new album ‘Resurrection’\, the first new material in 12 years. \n\n\n\nDeviant don’t try to be liked. \n\n\n\nThey aim to be felt — and remembered. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nTIRS : This is Radio Silence \n\n\n\nTHIS IS RADIO SILENCE was formed in 2006\, initially as the solo project of former Earth Loop Recall frontman/SonVer guitarist Ben McLees. \n\n\n\nTIRS’s music is generally described as ‘electronic rock’\, though they also lean heavily on a broad range of influences\, including dub\, psychedelia\, industrial\, electro\, alt-rock\, post-punk\, experimental\, new wave\, ambient and IDM. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nPalindrones \n\n\n\nPalindrones is an emotionally immersive\, captivating\, dark electronic duo from South London. They take listeners on a shimmering and cathartic sonic journey with dreamy Industrial Synthpop\, infused with pounding rhythms\, haunting\, evocative vocals and esoteric ambiance. \n\n\n\nFormed in 2020 by Jamie and Karen\, Palindrones emerged during lockdown; songwriting was their way to stay connected whilst living on opposite sides of London. Their name\, Palindrones\, speaks to the duality at the heart of their artistry—where symmetry\, reflection\, and contradiction fuel both their music and their creative process. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nThe Go Go Cult \n\n\n\nSince 2009 The Go Go Cult have crawled like shadows from The Darklands of Reading bringing their unique brand of Dark Hypnotic Post Punk Psycho-delic Gothic Garage Blues to thirsty audiences all over the world. \n\n\n\n“Yes. Go Go Cult sound like being in a 1950s motorbike gang in America\, pushed to the musical limits from the constant threat of nuclear holocaust.” Tim Hooper for BBC Introducing. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nRIP Richard Pyne. \n\n\n\nKilling Miranda were due to play for us on this event and therefore we will be holding a special dedicated after party in remembrance of Richard. \n\n\n\nSome of the Beat:Cancer team had known Richard for 25 years+ having originally booked Killing Miranda in the Transgression By Numbers era. Over the years he has brought both chaos and fun including the in-famous Nicolas Cage Harlem Shake at Resistanz 2013. \n\n\n\n———— \n\n\n\nAbout the event \n\n\n\nBeat:Cancer is a charity formed to help fight cancer through funding research\, treatment\, screening and care using electronic music: We release music\, run club nights\, host gigs and organise festivals to raise money\, which we then grant to worthy institutions such as hospices\, research centres and treatment wards. \n\n\n\nEarly birds are £13 \n\n\n\nFirst tier are £16. \n\n\n\nSecond tier are £19. \n\n\n\nUnder 18s tickets are £6 \n\n\n\nEarly Bird Weekend Tickets are only £23.50 \n\n\n\nID might be requested. \n\n\n\nWe charge no booking fees on our website. Tickets are 100% virtual and your name will be on the door on the day. Please have you ticket on your phone or printed for ease. \n\n\n\nWe are a registered UK Charity (number 1169212) run entirely by unpaid volunteers who are passionate about using great music to save lives. \n\n\n\n—————————————- \n\n\n\nWhy not make a weekend of it?Beat:Cancer are also running a second event on the Fri 29th May with Schism featuring Metal\, Rock\, Alt & Drum & Bass. \n\n\n\nThe brilliant headliners for both events are locked in\, and are very exciting so we highly recommend you trust us and get in early; book now before before we release these amazing lineups as we the expect tickets to fly out fast!
