What’s On

DISCHARGE live gig presented by Fringe Theory

Discharge changed the face of punk – and indeed extreme music itself – with their stunning outpouring of pure intensity that boiled punk down to its basic components of rage, frustration and violent rebellion. Discharge stumbled upon a sound that was so ugly, it was beautiful; so horrifying, it was irresistible – and it ushered in a whole new wave of gnarlier, nastier UK punk, and ultimately paved the way for hardcore and thrash.

In 2016, Discharge have signed to Nuclear Blast Records, to unleash their single ‘New World Order’, and the aptly-titled album ‘End Of Days’ which reached #10 in The Official UK Rock Charts and have been playing to sold out crowds in America and in Europe.

Discharge are seemingly unstoppable, and a thousand bands spawned in their wake, making them one of the few bands to have fathered their very own genre, Discore or D-Beat as it’s now widely known around the world. Many of the songs from the band’s formative years have been covered by some of the biggest names in rock and metal music: Metallica, Anthrax, Sepultura, Machine Head, Prong, Soulfly, Arch Enemy to name but a few.

In 2017, Andrew toured their HISTORY OF HEAVY METAL show to critical acclaim alongside the book of the same name. In 2025, they return with another genre they’re equally passionate about.

Coming hot on the heels of the 30th anniversary of The Prodigy’s seminal album Music For The Jilted Generation, the band’s genre bending album that gave two fingers to the government of the time, we are thrilled to bring the finest Prodigy tribute in the land to Cambridge for the first time.
