Give 'Em The Boot - DIY punk all dayer
About this Event
This brand new DIY punk cabaret party returns to Signature Brew Haggerston this September to round off summer in style while celebrating diverse and underrepresented talent across punk, drag and burlesque while creating accessible and inclusive spaces for artists and audiences.
Give 'Em The Boot creates space and brings together acts who are primarily women, working-class, from Global Majority backgrounds, disabled, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent — artists who are often underrepresented on mainstream line-ups.
Launched earlier this year during the 50th anniversary of punk, the events celebrate the genre’s radical spirit of inclusion, community and DIY creativity.
Expect a night of loud music, rebellious performance and unapologetic creativity from some of the most exciting emerging voices in the scene.
