In September 1976, the 100 Club (which had operated since 1942 as Feldman Swing Club) played host to the first international punk festival, which helped push the new punk movement into the mainstream. The Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Clash, Buzzcocks, The Jam, The Stranglers, and The Damned all played at this event.

The Roundhouse
Hosted by a Grade II listed former railway engine shed built in 1847, in Chalk Farm, The Roundhouse opened as a performing arts venue after twenty-five years of disuse, in 1964. Both the psychedelic and the punk eras have witnessed here some of their most legendary moments.
Marquee Club – Part #2
In March 1964 the Marquee Club moved to its most famous venue at 90 Wardour Street, possibly becoming the most important venue in the history of pop music.
Hope and Anchor
The Hope & Anchor has been a leading live music venue for decades. The videos of The Damned’s New Rose and Madness’s One Step Beyond were shot here. The U2 played here their first gig in the UK. What else?
