After the roaring success of last year's sold out event, we are back with another INSANE line up of local LGBTQIA+ and ally talent. Back at the Old Road Tavern where our inaugural event took place in 2025, we are excited to fill the Barn with queer joy and unbridled punk chaos once again!
Suggested donation is £10 but please pay as much as you can afford. All proceeds go towards Pride in Chippenham to help support and uplift the local LGBTQIA+ community in Chippenham and the surrounding villages.
COMPERE/MC WIL HODGSON - After the success of Wil’s compering last year, we invited them back to steer the night again. Wil Hodgson is Chippenham’s own award‑winning, cult‑favourite, non‑binary punk storyteller — a stand‑up icon who’s been a cornerstone of the local scene for over 20 years. Known for their one‑of‑a‑kind delivery, love of wrestling and 80s toys, and brilliantly oddball tales of West Country life, they’ve long been the heart and host of Chippenham Comedy Club in the Barn — so bringing them back to compere this gig just feels absolutely right. Expect sharp humour, chaotic charm, “only in Chippenham” energy and that unmistakable Wil energy holding the whole night together.
SCARE BEARS - Scare Bears are a brand‑new, ferocious queer post‑punk three‑piece from Bristol, making noisy, melodic chaos for fans of Petrol Girls, Illuminati Hotties, and Gang of Four. Their debut single Scapegoat dropped in early 2026 — heavy, political, and impossible to ignore. They’re already tearing through the local circuit with sharp‑edged riffs, big feelings, and the kind of cathartic noise that reminds you why punk still matters.
CROOKED SNOUT - Crooked Snout are a Bath/Bristol punk outfit bringing noisy, scrappy energy to every room they land in. They’ve been popping up across the South West — from Roseberry Road Studios to community festivals — carving out a name with their raw sound and proper DIY spirit. Whether they’re sharing bills with local punk heavyweights or crashing late‑night lineups, Crooked Snout carry that classic “turn up, play loud, mean it” ethos that makes the scene feel alive.
T.A.T - T.A.T (There’s Always Time) are a feisty punk band from Bath, known for songs that swing between political punch and full‑throttle emotional release. Tracks like “No Way Out” and “Hate Them All” show off their unapologetically raw sound — loud, scrappy, and absolutely soaked in that classic punk spirit. Whether they’re digging into social issues or just letting loose with sheer chaotic energy, T.A.T bring a kind of honesty that hits hard and sticks with you long after the set’s over.
EMILIA & THE UNKNOWN - Emilia & The Unknown are a Bristol punk/emo‑punk band making loud, heartfelt noise for the queers, the outsiders, and anyone who needs a space that feels real. Their 2026 EP EATU captures that perfect mix of raw emotion and gritty punk energy, the kind that hits you right in the chest and stays there. They’ve been carving out their place in the DIY scene — from tearing things up at Fishstock to bringing cathartic, joyful chaos to rooms all over Bristol — proving that punk is still a home for the people who feel everything a little too loudly.
PLEASE NOTE; this event is 18+. ID may be required on the door.
