So very pleased to welcome back our friends in @entershikari after 12 years to play a special Joiners 50th anniversary @mvtfightback show, we can't thank them enough for the support of independent grassroots venues alongside @musicvenuetrust this means the world and stresses how important these spaces are to up and coming bands! We'll be partying here afterwards also no doubt, here's to the Joiners ? #entershikari #livemusic #joinersis50 #thejoiners #joinerslive #southampton

Heads up! Giving away some tickets for Band of Skulls next week via Music Venue Trust get on it quick :)

Congrats if you managed to get a ticket, this is going to be a truly historic moment for the city's music scene! Enter Shikari frontman Rou, currently touring with the band in Japan, says they did not hesitate to come back to Southampton?s most famous music spot. ?We last played The Joiners in 2006, just as things were really kicking off for us. When Ricky asked us to be part of the 50th anniversary, we couldn?t refuse. ?In an age of venues closing down and desperately in need of support, the idea of an iconic place like The Joiners hitting a half century is something to celebrate.
