Artists

The Underground is host to many gigs, featuring bands from the local area and also many big name bands and DJs. Probably the most well-remembered gig at the Underground would be the first of many times Pete Doherty's band, Babyshambles performed. The gig ended in an impromptu car top sing-along led by Doherty and former Libertines bandmate Carl Barat, the incident referred to as The Babyshambles riot was covered heavily in the music press, and gave the club immediate cult status.[1]

The Underground hosted a sold out acoustic set by Pete Doherty on 11 February 2009, then again on the 30 May that year.

Bands that have played at the Stoke Underground include acts such as:

gollark: Tricky stuff like... what, projecting the objects the camera sees into world-space... would be mathy, I don't think we actually did any of that?
gollark: I don't think we need any hugely complex maths, except maybe calculation of various trajectories.
gollark: What sort of useful work would you say you're reasonably capable of doing?
gollark: 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
gollark: No, just document everyone else's work.
