Looking for a great live music night in London?
Next Wave Live is a free monthly showcase where you can discover some of the most exciting new artists before they break — live, up close, and in the room.
Curated by Chalkpit Cassette Club, the night is built from the world of Next Wave Cassette Magazine — now 43 volumes deep and featuring over 500 emerging artists from across the globe.
What started as a cassette magazine championing new music has grown into a real-life community night centred around live music, discovery and connection.

One of the UK's most exciting emerging alt-indie bands, Slaney Bay blend introspective songwriting with huge hooks and infectious guitar-driven energy. Backed by BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and publications including Dork, Billboard and The Independent, they've built a reputation as a band destined for much bigger stages.

Brighton four-piece Comforts are quickly becoming one of the most exciting new names in UK alternative music. Combining shimmering indie-pop, driving guitars and razor-sharp songwriting, the band have built momentum with their latest releases and are gearing up for a huge year ahead with a brand new EP on the way. Their latest single Time Awaymarks the beginning of a bold new chapter, cementing Comforts as a band firmly on our radar and one we think you'll be hearing a lot more about very soon.
