The Raincoats’ Gina Birch and the Slits’ Hollie Cook will play with X-Ray Spek’s Lora Logic and Paul Dean for one night only on October 16 at Electric Brixton. Punk historian Vivien Goldman, the author of Revenge of the She-Punks, will also appear at the festival alongside Akiko Matsuura, Rhoda Dakar, Hot Wax, and Celeste Bell, the daughter of pioneering X-Ray Spex frontwoman Poly Styrene.

Many of the performers featured on the bill have also contributed archival material, artwork, and more to the exhibit.

Logic added: “Contribuir com obras de arte inéditas para a exposição, além de subir ao palco para tocar essas músicas icônicas novamente, parece completar um círculo completo e é incrivelmente especial.”.

For me, the creative expression of the movement was always multi-dimensional; it was visual art, clothes and noise all at once.”.
