1976: 50 Years at the 100 Club
A nostalgic, gritty punk night.
The iconic 100 Club hosts the first of two special evenings commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 100 Club Punk Festival of September 1976, a pivotal event in the UK punk movement. The night features Stinky Toys, France’s first punk band, making their first UK appearance since 1977. Known for blending art-school flair with raw punk energy, they were one of the few international acts at the original festival. Headlining the event is Mark Laff’s XGenerationX, performing a set inspired by the early energy of Generation X. The evening is hosted by Terry Chimes, founding drummer of The Clash, who will share first-hand reflections on the birth of London's punk scene.
