Next Wave Live Returns This April — Featuring Zander & Dude, My Dude
Join us at our next event - RSVP Here
There’s something building in London — and if you were in the room in March, you already felt it.
Next Wave Live returns this April for another night dedicated to discovering the artists shaping what comes next. Built from the foundations of Next Wave Cassette Magazine, this isn’t just another gig — it’s where new music lives, breathes, and connects in real life.
After a packed debut — a full room, electric performances, and a community showing up for something real — we’re back on Thursday 16th April at The Finsbury.
The Line-Up
Zander
Zander brings a magnetic, intimate energy — the kind that pulls you in quietly before it fully lands. There’s a clarity in the songwriting, paired with a modern edge that feels right at home within the Next Wave world. It’s honest, stripped back in moments, but always intentional — the kind of performance that sticks with you long after the room clears.
Dude, My Dude
Dude, My Dude arrive with pure energy — raw, expressive, and built for the stage. Their sound leans into chaos in all the right ways, balancing punchy instrumentation with a sense of fun and unpredictability. It’s the kind of set that reminds you why live music matters — loud, immediate, and impossible to ignore.
From Cassette to Stage
Next Wave Live is a physical extension of everything we’ve built through Next Wave Cassette Magazine.
For years, we’ve been documenting the next generation of artists on cassette, giving them a platform before the industry catches up. Next Wave Live is where those artists step into the room.
This is discovery without algorithms.
Music without distance.
Artists and audience, face to face.
More Than Just a Gig
We’re not just putting on shows, we’re building a space.
On the night you’ll find:
Live performances from emerging artists we believe in
A pop-up cassette record shop with exclusive releases
A community of people who care about music beyond the scroll
