Gig Life Crisis

What started out as a Whatsapp group amongst close friends last May, has grown into a massive community of 11,000 avid gig lovers on Facebook. The group has become a supportive platform for unsigned artists in the independent music scene, a place to share gigs and festivals and even a place for people to buddy up to attend gigs. There is also merch available! T-shirts, hoodies, pin badges, car stickers, one member has even got a ‘Gig Life Crisis’ tattoo!

The group organised a Gig Life Crisis festival at The Steam and Whistle in Cheltenham in January, showcasing the likes of The Kairos, The Rosadocs, Spangled, Samantics, The Slates, Siracuse plus more. The festival was a huge success, 200 members of the group attended and an amazing £1500 was raised for charities Mind, Punks Against Poverty and Refuge through a charity raffle organised by John Hibbits (admin of the group) who is passionate about supporting mental health.

Gig Life Crisis 2 has just been announced, to be hosted in Coventry for later in the year so watch this space.
