TOC @ THE WHEATSHEAF: MONTHLY LIVE MUSIC

A NEW CHAPTER FOR ALTERNATIVE MUSIC IN BANBURY

We’re proud to officially announce TOC @ The Wheatsheaf — a new monthly live music collaboration between TEN OF CLUBS and The Wheatsheaf, Banbury’s long-standing home of alternative music.

Louder together, we’ve joined forces to deliver a relentless series of heavy, hardcore, and alternative live shows — bringing some of the best bands from across the UK to Banbury’s much-loved grassroots venue.

The first TOC @ The Wheatsheaf event lands on Saturday, 11 April, and we’re coming in strong: nu metal heavy-hitters LOVELETTER lead the charge, ably supported by The Cartographer.

Expect soaring choruses and relentless energy from start to finish. This is the benchmark, the tone-setter, the first chapter in what will be Banbury’s essential monthly alternative night.

Entry is FREE. The sonic onslaught starts at 9pm. Don’t miss a second!

THE WHEATSHEAF — BANBURY'S HOME OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC

Thanks to the vision of its metalhead manager Ben Smith, The Wheatsheaf has long been the cornerstone of Banbury’s alternative scene.

With its vibrant edge and fiercely independent spirit, it’s the perfect setting for a collaboration rooted in heavy music culture.

The Wheatsheaf has never been just somewhere to unwind; it’s a place of self-discovery with a special kind of energy — a space for an alternative community and a thriving live music network that extends far beyond Banbury.

TEN OF CLUBS — FUELLED BY METAL

Fuelled by heavy music and bold design, TEN OF CLUBS is about more than fashion. A creative collective of metalheads and alt music fans, we champion grassroots talent and mental health in the music community.

This new partnership with The Wheatsheaf allows us to grow the alternative scene locally while bringing some of the best UK metal and alternative bands to Banbury.

Live music is at the heart of what we do, so partnering with The Wheatsheaf feels completely natural. Since launching TOCstock, the demand for more regular events has been clear — now we're delivering.

ALT MUSIC & COMMUNITY

More than just individual shows, TOC @ The Wheatsheaf is about community and building a permanent home for alternative culture in Banbury, where established acts and rising names share the same stage, and the crowd feels just as much a part of the night as the bands.

Banbury's alt music scene is about to get a whole lot louder. Month after month, we're bringing unmissable lineups, fresh energy, and face-melting sounds. If you love metal and alternative music, this is for you.

Get your TOC on and we’ll see you at The Wheatsheaf!
