SUMMARY:Lone Assembly + Ro Nova
DESCRIPTION:Lone Assembly are a Swiss quartet blending new wave\, romantic synthpop and dark\, melancholic post-punk. Formed by Raphaël Bressler (vocals\, keyboards)\, Glenn Le Meur (guitar)\, Jim Bodeman (bass) and Romain Segu (drums)\, the band broke through in 2024 with their debut EP That Never Happened — a release rooted in themes of grief\, emotional distance and vulnerability\, pairing ’80s cold-wave textures with sharp modern production. \n\n\n\nTheir forthcoming debut album Knots & Chains\, due February 2026 via Irascible Records\, expands on this world with thunderous basslines\, hypnotic rhythms\, reverb-soaked guitars and atmospheric synths underpinning Bressler’s deep\, resonant vocals. Known for their striking gothic-inspired visuals and growing reputation for powerful live shows\, Lone Assembly have quickly built a dedicated following across the new-wave and dark-wave scenes\, while retaining undeniable pop appeal. \n\n\n\nRo Nova is a London-based electropop artist and producer blending ’80s synth textures with ethereal vocals to create a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. Since the release of her debut single “do you think it’s fine?”\, she has received support from BBC Radio 1\, BBC London and Reprezent Radio\, alongside tastemakers including Harriet Rose (KISS FM) and James Threlfall (BBC Introducing). \n\n\n\nA feature with German electronic heavyweight Schiller helped expand her audience internationally\, following the album Illuminate reaching No.1 in Germany. Ro Nova has since toured Europe with Schiller\, including performances at Berlin’s Uber Arena\, and has collaborated with Grammy Award-winners Fred again.. and Kamille\, alongside sessions with RAYE\, MNEK and Toddla T. Following standout sets at The Great Escape Festival and London’s Scala\, Ro Nova recently headlined SJQ Dalston and will join Lone Assembly on their 2026 UK tour.

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!

SUMMARY:Cabaret Voltaire + Gazelle Twin
DESCRIPTION:Stephen ‘Mal’ Mallinder and Chris Watson have announced details of their Final UK Tour\, starting on 10 October 2026 at Birmingham Town Hall and finishing at the Sheffield Octagon on 25 October\, with Gazelle Twin confirmed as special guest across all the dates. \n\n\n\nThese dates follow news of this year’s highly anticipated sold-out tour\, which marks 50 years since the live launch of one of Britain’s most influential electronic bands\, Cabaret Voltaire\, at the Sheffield Students Union Refectory on 13 May 1975. \n\n\n\nTalking about the newly announced dates\, Stephen Mallinder\, says: “What a wonderful opportunity to go round the block one more time and share that with one of the most unique and spectacular artists we know. The connective tissue between ourselves\, our history\, and the world Gazelle Twin now conjures up\, will be out there and shared with people. It seems like a special\, magical moment. ”Composer\, producer\, and performance artist Elizabeth Bernholz\, aka Gazelle Twin\, will be special guest across the tour: “Pinch me. Go on. I’m feeling excessively lucky at the prospect of touring with Cabaret Voltaire in 2026. They are electronic music pioneers\, but also the loveliest\, kindest folk in music that I could ever hope to share the stage with. \n\n\n\nIn the current climate of social turmoil and political manipulation\, the prescient work of Cabaret Voltaire continues to be necessary. The sounds\, words\, images and films of the band still resonate loudly\, continuing to challenge the status quo. The events in 2025 and 2026 will curate this essential work and to acknowledge the timeless energy and to mark the continuing significance and power of what Cabaret Voltaire achieved. Original members Chris Watson and Stephen Mallinder are committed to stay true to the enduring vision of Cabaret Voltaire. The performance will cover the arc of their formidable output – from early experiments\, and the first Rough Trade / Factory releases\, through the band’s Doublevision video label and into the work with renowned producers such as Adrian Sherwood and Marshall Jefferson. Stephen Mallinder explains\, “The live set is built from scratch but faithful to the original tracks. Everything has been painstakingly reconstructed with the original technology and processes to build the tracks. But as with all Cabs live shows there is an element of unpredictable\, the new. Chance meets causality.”
