When it comes to new music there is no greater source then Club Fandango. Lauded among new music fans across the country and respected by some of the industry’s biggest names; CLUB FANDANGO has become the guiding light for A&R men and a veritable hot pot of new and exciting talent. Faultless with their bookings and forever pushing the boundaries their 6 six-year reign remains unsurpassed. Now with a host of regional gigs across the UK, a thriving label whose current roster boasts Ra Ra Riot, Misty’s Big Adventure and Cut Off Your Hands, and a soon to be launched monthly magazine – FAN-ZNE – Club Fandango has never be so rich or relevant as it is six years from its inception.

Those in the know have been heading down to the weekly night at Camden’s Dublin Castle for the last six years to see some of the very first live performances from bands such as Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc party, Polyphonic Spree, The Killers, Razorlight, British Sea Power, Dogs Die. Just a handful of the many who have trodden the Fandango boards and gone on to become today’s super-bands.

To celebrate their 6 years at the forefront of indie, this September will see them launch their most spectacular musical extravaganza to date: ‘A Fistful of Fandango’ - bringing Londoners six consecutive nights of cutting edge tips for the top, and bands to make your mouth water. ‘A Fistful of Fandango’ will thrust into the musical arena a unique hotbed of new talent featuring the finest line up of tomorrow’s stars. Six nights of music await kicking off at their spiritual home The Dublin Castle on Tuesday 4th September and finishing off at the much loved and laid back Constitution. Perfectly book ending four superlative nights of music at The 229 venue on Great Portland St this is set to be one memorable week of music.

Every evening from the 5tth-8th September at The 229 Venue there will be an astounding array of live acts running non-stop throughout 2 rooms. Continually alternating, allowing punters to see as many bands as possible, the four nights will include performances from the likes of Maps, Shit Disco, Electric Soft Parade, Friendly Fires, British Sea Power and Operator Please and this year’s Diesel U music winners-The Steers and Get Shakes amongst many, many others.

The large room will feature contributions from all of Club Fandango’s esteemed partner’s: Diesel U Music, BBC 6 Music, Fierce Panda Records, 7digital Indiestore and BMI who will be supplying the masses with a more than broad range of eclectic musical styles and vibes throughout the event.

The equally musical savvy second room will feature the very best as the feistiest neo-unsigned bands in the country take the stage as part of this very special birthday celebration.

Rounding the proceedings off on Sunday 9th September, The Constitution in Camden will be joining forces with Tapestry to host A Fistful of Fandango’s wind-down all dayer celebrating the very best in new singer-song-writing talent. Come and laze around in the sunny garden and get stuck into the sizzling BBQ action!

If you have even a passing interest in new music A Fistful of Fandango is a must. With each night as compelling as the next it’s probably best to write the week off and give yourself over to this truly exciting week of music.
