All London's live music

After tour and festival appearances home and abroad in 2025 - Goblinsmoker bring together their biggest tour yet in 2026, stopping off at the Cart and Horses in London.

The next edition of the Chthonic Descent series extends its grisly reach to the darkened fringes of the English coastlines to draw in a murky concoction prepped for the ongoing aural assault on Iklectik and its inhabitants.

Kikimora headline The Star of Kings on Thursday 30th July. Expect a heavy night of metal inspired by the likes of Sodom, Kreator, and Possessed. Completing the bill are Lost and Found Society, Take Flight, and Acts of Vengeance.
