This month's listings

March 2024's grid of gigs is available to download – 40+ nights, days, screenings, club nights, punk + hardcore + post punk + indie pop + metal for the last month of winter. At the top: Catholic Block, Post Office Tower. Listings updated Monday 11th March.

The paper is A3, the ink is MZ-770 Bright Red & Teal and there's a back page full of news and gossip that you won't find online.

For March, with Damage is Done IV coming up I sat down with Ola & Meline to talk collectives, Framtid and who they're excited to see this year. Pick up a copy at a few of these places and let me know what you reckon.

To ensure your event is in the April calendar, please submit by Friday 22nd March.
