Portsmouth Punk Festival Band Highlight! PIZZA TRAMP
The penultimate act and one of the hardest-working DIY bands on the scene, is ‘thrash-skate-punk’ group, Pizza Tramp. Known for their incredibly fast, short, and humorous songs, their music mixes hardcore punk with thrash influences and comedic lyrics in songs about daily misery, beer, and antisocial behaviour.

Portsmouth Punk Festival Band Highlight! BE NICE
Freak punk’ band Be N!ce will take to the stage with an electric performance and their genre-bending style that combines punk, post-punk, grunge, and alt-metal. Tackling social issues with a mix of fury and humour, their sound with its heavy, raw and melodic elements is painfully sincere.

ON SALE NOW! Carole King’s Tapestry
Now brought to life by a powerful live six-piece band with vocals, the first half of the concert celebrates the spirit of Laurel Canyon through the unforgettable songs from these legendary artists and many others who defined the era.
In the second half, the show dives deeper into the music that made history, performing Carole King’s 1971 masterpiece 'Tapestry' in its entirety. Of all the albums released at this time in the Laurel Canyon community, Tapestry, arguably, sums up this counterculture best. It is a statement of togetherness, love in all its forms, feminism, and endless hope for the future.
Coming to The Lens Studio on the 20th of September 2026! Book now: https://www.portsmouthguildhall.org.uk/whats-on/event/carole-kings-tapestry-2/
