Independent music group Transgressive Records has announced a series of special events to celebrate its 20th anniversary, including gigs featuring Mystery Jets, Arlo Parks, The Joy, Marika Hackman, Johnny Flynn, KOKOKO!, and The Moonlandingz. The events will take place in unique venues in London, and are to be held in partnership with War Child and Music Venue Trust. General ticket sales commence May 31, with further events scheduled to be announced at a later date. The partners commented, “We hope that the activities we’re planning can continue to shine a light on the irrepressible, unifying power of music and art, and the potency and strength of the human spirit.”
In a press release, Transgressive Records partners Toby L, Tim Dellow and Lilas Bourboulon explained: “To kickstart our anniversary, we wanted to reflect the eclecticism and inclusivity of the company’s roster and culture by putting together some communal moments… it felt like the most natural way to share the joy and gratitude that we feel for making it this far.”
Arlo Parks is also scheduled to perform at Glastonbury and All Points East later this year.
