Grunge in Islington (Pearl Jam + Smashing Pumpkins tributes)

Guaranteed to be a show full of hits and a rare combination of Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins sets in the same night.

Hailing from Blackpool, Pearl Scam are back with their yearly London show with support from Smashed In Pumpkins who have rarely, if ever, played a London stage.

The doors will open at 7 but we intend to arrange a pre-meet from 6 at a bar nearby TBC. Happy to take suggestions and will confirm it nearer the date.

Also to note, the gig will be at the Islington Academy 2 which is upstairs at Angel Central shopping centre, and NOT the main Academy on the ground floor which people often confuse it with and is not always specified in the bookings.
