Four confirmed, more going on between now and Halloween. Electronicore, metalcore, nu-metal and rap, in a room small enough that there is no bad spot in it.
Cabin Boy Jumped ShipHeadlining
You get about ninety seconds before the first breakdown, and it does not ask nicely. Crushing riffs welded onto hooks you will still be humming on the drive home. They have taken this show through Europe, Russia, Thailand and the Philippines. They have played Download. They have stood on stages with Electric Callboy and We Came As Romans. On Halloween they are headlining a room that holds three hundred and fifty people. Bands do not play rooms this size for long.
Seething AkiraPortsmouth
Six of them, on a stage that comfortably holds four. Electronic rock, metal and rap bolted together, built for nothing but the live room. Years of touring the UK and Europe have given them one reputation that follows them everywhere: they turn a polite room into absolute chaos, usually somewhere around the third song. You will not be standing where you started. Nobody ever is.
WaterlinesUK
Heavy riffs, electronics and hooks the size of a house. No polite section, no gap where you get your phone out. They are on early and they play like they are closing, which is everybody else's problem, not yours.
Infirm of PurposeGet down early
Their own two words beat anything we could write for them: breakdowns and breakbeats. This is exactly why you come at five and not at nine. Most bills ease you in for an hour. This one opens heavy, and the room never gets to sit back down.
And more to be announcedWatch this space
The bill is not finished. Bands are still going on it between now and Halloween, and here is the part worth reading twice: the price does not go up when they do. Buy today and every band we put on between now and Halloween, you got for free. Wait for the full lineup and you will pay more for exactly the same night.
At half ten the bands finish. This is normally the bit where you stand outside working out who is driving.
Not this time. The room is cleared for a short changeover, you grab a drink in the bar area, and at eleven the same room opens back up as the Panic At The Emo Halloween Special and runs until three in the morning. My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Linkin Park, Blink-182.
Free emo gift on the way in, we give away t-shirts every night, Myspace photo booth open all night, and two DJs up on the stage screaming it back at you. Same building. No second queue. Five pounds.
Twenty quid
£20 · ADVANCEthe £15 early birdHere is the bit worth reading twice. On the door it is £25 for the bands on their own. The same £25 today gets you the bands and the afterparty until three.
Get me in · £20The combo ticket is the one to get.
Gig plus the Panic At The Emo Halloween Special on one ticket is £25. The gig on its own is £20. Buying the two separately costs more.
Turning up on the night costs you the same £25 and gets you half as much, and only if there is room left. The £15 early bird has already gone. Already holding a HALLOWSCENE ticket? The club night after is £10 on its own. Skiddle show you the total before you pay.
Your ticket sits on your phone, gets scanned at the door, and you walk straight past the queue.
“I don't know any of these bands.”
Cabin Boy Jumped Ship have played Download and toured as far as Thailand and the Philippines. Turn up, stand near the front, and you will know every one of them by the end of the night. That is the entire point of a bill like this.
“Is it too heavy for me?”
Electronicore, metalcore, nu-metal and rap. Breakdowns, yes, but also huge choruses and enormous hooks. If you own a Bring Me The Horizon record you will be completely fine. And the emo club night after is the softest landing you could ask for.
“What is the afterparty, exactly?”
At half ten the bands finish and the room is cleared for the changeover, so you step out to the bar area. At eleven the room opens back up as the Panic At The Emo Halloween Special until three in the morning. My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Blink-182. You do not move buildings, you do not queue again, you just stay.
“Can I just do the bands and go home?”
Twenty quid gets you five until half ten and that is a full evening on its own. The £25 combo is there for the ones who are not ready to go home, which on Halloween tends to be most of the room.

Cabin Boy Jumped Ship, Seething Akira, Waterlines and Infirm of Purpose, with more bands still to be announced. Stage times go up closer to the night. Get down early, the openers are not filler.
MK11 Live Music Venue, Milton Keynes. One room, both events.
18 plus. Bring ID, they will ask for it.
Bands only is £20 in advance. Bands plus the afterparty is £25 in advance. On the door it is £25 for the bands alone, so buying the £25 combo now gets you twice as much for the same money. The £15 early bird has gone.
The Panic At The Emo Halloween Special after it is £10 on its own on Skiddle. That keeps you in the building until three.
No, but it is Halloween and most of the room will. Full costume, corpse paint, a band tee, or whatever you already own. Nobody is judging.
MK11 has a bar. It is a five hour gig followed by a four hour club night, so eat something first and pace yourself.
Plenty do. Gigs are the easiest place on earth to talk to strangers, and by the time the afterparty starts you will not be on your own any more.
They will. The price of your ticket does not change, so buying now only ever works in your favour.
Yes. You pay on Skiddle, a UK ticketing platform that has been doing this for twenty years. Your card details never touch this page.
