Back to continue the party with an exhilarating night of original music and pure UK garage vibes.

This is a rave-up…..

And a story too.

Of some sh** that went down - shaped who we’ve grown to

Danusia Samal’s smash gig theatre hit Bangers is back with a brand new look, following five star runs at Soho Theatre and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2023. Coming to London’s Arcola Theatre for three weeks this summer, Bangers is bringing the party to Dalston.

An exhilarating night of original music, lyrical storytelling and pure UK garage vibes, Bangers sees two headliners crossfade between stories of love, sex and the power of music across one night where their lives intersect. Joined onstage by a live DJ and narrator, Aria and Clef hurtle towards each others’ futures as they each struggle with their pasts, blending early 00s and present day R&B vibes in an original soundtrack of pure bangers.  How do the bangers we grew up listening to shape who we are today?

Written by Danusia Samal and directed by Chris Sonnex, with a new cast to be announced.

Bangers blends theatre and gig together for the perfect night out - have a drink, enjoy the party and listen to the DJ as they drop banger after banger.
