Fat Dog and Divorce to play DIY’s Class of 2024 launch show at Hoxton’s Colours!
It’s all in celebration of our bumper new Dec/ Jan double issue - out now!

Roll up, roll up! It’s time for DIY’s Class of 2024 issue: your need-to-know guide to all the artists set to break through in a big way over the next 12 months. And to celebrate, we’re putting on a big Christmas party featuring some of the hotly-tipped young guns you’ll find inside the mag.
Heading to Colours in Hoxton on Thursday 14th December, the night will be headlined by raucous South London chaos-mongers Fat Dog, who’ll be bringing ‘King of the Slugs’ and more boisterous bangers to the party. And what’s more, we’ll be joined by Nottingham country punks Divorce! They’re Self Esteem’s favourite new band, and we reckon they could be yours too.
We’ll also be welcoming Sasha Assad to open up on the night, with DIY DJs on the decks to keep the vibes going. And there’ll be some shiny new copies of our Class of 2024 issue - out now! - to pick up as well.
Please note, entry is on a first come first served basis and ticket does not guarantee entry, so get down early.
We’d also like to say a big thanks to the sponsors of our Class of 2024 party this year; BIMM Music Institute, Focusrite, Marshall and Super Bock.
