Known for their explosive live performances and anthemic tracks that blend raw energy with undeniable melodies, The Guest List promises an unforgettable night in the heart of the city.

Prepare for an evening of relentless riffs, pounding drums, and singalong choruses that will echo through the hallowed halls of this iconic Southampton institution.
About The Guest List
Hailing from the bustling northern music scene, The Guest List have rapidly ascended through the ranks of the UK’s alternative rock landscape. Formed in 2018 by frontman Alex Thorne and guitarist Chloe Davies, their sound is a potent cocktail of classic rock swagger and modern indie sensibility, drawing comparisons to early Foals and the raw power of Royal Blood. Their debut EP, “Velvet Revolutions,” caught the attention of critics and fans alike, establishing their signature blend of intricate guitar work and Thorne’s commanding vocals.
Their breakthrough came with the release of their debut album, “Echoes in the Crowd,” featuring fan favourites like “Midnight Static” and the soaring anthem “City Lights.” These tracks showcased their ability to craft both hard-hitting rockers and more nuanced, atmospheric pieces, cementing their reputation as a band with depth and dynamic range. The current lineup, completed by bassist Sam Riley and drummer Maya Singh, is renowned for its tight musicianship and an almost telepathic stage presence, transforming every performance into a high-octane spectacle. With a new album rumoured for early 2025, their Joiners show promises to be a pivotal moment, perhaps even an opportunity to hear new material before anyone else.
