Evening Performance & Royalty

As the sun sets, get ready for an evening of theatrical magic and driving rhythms. The headline slots welcome the returning Thanet cabaret royalty that is Screaming Alley, delivering a jewel-studded celebration of live performance, glorious anthems and shameless pageantry

Closing out the festival night is East London’s premier barge-punk supergroup, Rotten Boroughs. Blending dark "folk-noir" with a rowdy, whiskey-soaked punk theatricality, their signature "gothic-gypsy-trash-’n’-roll" set features veterans from iconic underground bands like Daisy Chainsaw and The Jim Jones Revue. They are guaranteed to leave the gardens shaking and the crowd on their feet.
