Satisfy your lust for chaos and be part of an unmissable night of savage riffs, brutal breakdowns, and serious noise.
TOCstock, our epic alternative shindig, is coming to Banbury on Friday 10 October 2025. Hosted by legendary music venue Also Known As, we’re proud to present not one, not two, but three of the finest alternative metal bands ever to scream on a stage.
Bringing the carnage are genre-defying alt metal titans Sleemo, masters of melodic metalcore Severed Tongues, and － making their long-awaited return, back for one night only － the mighty MSRY!
It's all in aid of Music Minds Matter, the leading charity offering 24/7 mental health support to everyone involved in music. Help us help them help musicians like you.
Tickets are FREE; space is limited. Get yours now before it's too late! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; there's no point moaning to us if you miss the boat.
WHO'S BRINGING THE NOISE?
SLEEMO
Known for thunderous, sell-out live shows and their unique, genre-melting blend of sludge, shoegaze, and alternative metal, Sleemo have been on the scene since 2019.
The Norwich-based band has toured with DVNE, Kaonashi, Pijn, Boss Keloid, and Whores, to name just a few. The guys made their triumphant festival debut at Desertfest London in 2024.
One of our favourite bands, we're stoked they're joining us for TOCstock! Get your FREE ticket now!
SEVERED TONGUES
A progressive metalcore powerhouse praised for their raw energy, impassioned vocals, and aggressive riffs, the Severed Tongues sound is as melodic as it is relentless.
The band’s debut EP 'Fragments' was unleashed back in March to widespread acclaim, with breakout track 'Dead Space' featuring as Track of the Week on Alyx Holcombe’s revered Radio 1 rock show.
See for yourself what all the fuss is about. Get your FREE ticket now!
MSRY － BACK FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Reuniting exclusively for TOCstock, we have the honour of presenting the legendary, destructive hardcore quadruplet, MSRY.
On hiatus since 2020, the band’s reputation for tight musicianship, intense vocals, and feral energy endures. Now, after a five-year silence, they’re stepping back onto the stage, especially for you, to blow the roof off AKA.
