After last year’s sensational Vive Le Rock Awards at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, which was supposed to be their last, Editor Eugene Butcher has just announced that they’re doing it all again this year on Friday 12th April, this time at London’s O2 Academy Islington.
The whole rock extravaganza will steam roll in for another packed show of unique collaborations, celebrations and one-off performances. And 2024 is going to be a punky reggae party with a bill topped by original ’70s punks Jimmy Pursey and SHAM 69 and RUTS DC performing a special never-to-be-repeated set with special guests, we can also now announce an intimate performance from THEATRE OF HATE/SPEAR OF DESTINY man Kirk Brandon, special guest performances from the iconic TOYAH, rock n’ roll king JIM JONES and the one and only Saffron from REPUBLICA, as well as new UK punks GRADE 2 and Lily from fast rising punks THE MEFFS!

A five hour show with a full programme of awards, winners and celebrity presenters, there’s only one place to be in April and that’s the 2024 VLRs!
