Experience Cancer Bats live on August 8th

Cancer Bats are scheduled to perform at The Fighting Cocks in London, United Kingdom on August 8th, 2026. The band originates from Toronto, Canada and is generally categorized as hardcore punk with strong influences from heavy metal, often described as “hardcore metal” or “sludge metal.” Their sound incorporates elements of southern rock and utilizes dual vocals – one clean and one screamed – alongside dynamic shifts in tempo and intensity. They have released six studio albums to date, consistently touring internationally since their formation in 2004.

The Fighting Cocks is a long-established live music venue located in Kingston upon Thames. Originally a traditional pub dating back to the 17th century, it gained prominence as a dedicated rock and alternative music space in the 1980s. It’s known for its intimate capacity—approximately 200 people—and has hosted performances by numerous established and emerging artists across various genres including punk, metal, and indie rock. The venue underwent a period of closure and community fundraising efforts ensured its reopening in 2015, solidifying its position as a vital independent music hub within the London area.
