Victor and the Bully Presents: THE NAUGHTY LIST RIOT!

This December, Camden’s Black Heart will be shaken to its core as we summon a Christmas party like no other

Get ready for a festive night of chaos with Victor and the Bully, the rum-soaked pirates The Captains Beard, and the foul mouthed Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq. for a night of rebellious festive cheer, raucous singalongs, and plenty of mischief.

Forget the carols – this is Christmas done the wrong way. Expect stomping tunes, rowdy choruses, pirate shanties, dark cabaret, and just enough chaos to land you firmly on Santa’s naughty list.

Dress up, drink up, and get ready to riot – this is Christmas loud, lewd, and ready to raise hell!

On Friday 19th December, for one night only, the Milton Keynes duo will be taking over The Black Heart bringing very special hometown guests VERMINTHRONE to fill your ears with Christmas Riffs a plenty. 

If you want riffs as thick as grandma’s Christmas cake, we suggest you buy a ticket and come fill your lug holes with ho-ho-homemade riffage.

While the future of the band is uncertain and no future plans to return to the stage…..we know one thing is for sure, and THATS HOW TO THROW A FU**ING PARTAAAY! So join us, lets kick of the festive season with a hangover that will last until New Year’s Day. 

We wish you all a VERY MERRY TUSKMASS.

LUCIE SUE + QUIVER

French rising star Lucie Sue is heading to the UK for her first-ever headline tour, bringing the explosive force of her new album Battlestation across the Channel. A constant presence on Planet Rock’s A-List and featured for months in Classic Rock, Lucie has also secured multiple “Track of the Week” wins with her latest singles. On stage, she delivers a whirlwind of infectious energy, razor-sharp humor, and eclectic songwriting, a magnetic live presence that already earned her a spot on the Hellfest 2025 mainstage. Now, she’s ready to set the UK ablaze.

On selected dates : London, Brighton, Oxford, Ramsgate, and Bridgwater, Lucie Sue will co-headline with Quiver. Blending raw emotion, swagger, and crushing riffs, Quiver delivers modern rock meant to be felt as much as heard. After opening for AC/DC legend Chris Slade in front of 10,000 people, firing up festival stages across France and the UK, and returning from a German tour with DIRTY HONEY, Quiver continues to bring their no-compromise live energy to every crowd they meet.

Joining as full-tour support, Belfast’s heavy-alternative powerhouse PREYRS step in to celebrate the release of their debut album The Wounded Healer, fresh from their European run with New Model Army. Their cathartic, high-intensity shows, driven by the phenomenal Amy Montgomery and make them one of the most compelling new forces in heavy alternative rock.

Three rising forces, one electrifying tour and shows you won’t forget.

Retribution Alive presents…

Retribution Alive's 'Dark Clouds VI' (Dark Clouds Over Camden) casts its blackened shadows over Camden in February again. The Black Heart (evening), the Dev (afternoon) and Raven Records will once again be your shelter on Saturday 7th February 2026.

Black Heart (Saturday evening)

BLACK ALTAR

Orthodox black metal from Poland and the UK. Black Altar took form within the 90's having been established within the year of 1996 by Shadow. Tours have included Mexico and South America, European festivals and a UK service with Carpathian Forest. With overall themes of misanthropy, death, darkness and Satanism, Black Altar does justice in conveying these often abstract ideas through their musicianship and lyrics. By blending their aggressive and raw tonality and structure with well written lyrics that conceptualized these ideas perfectly. Within a dark theatrical ritualistic ceremony Black Altar is then able to further express their themes by way of a visualization that is both captivating as it is cathartic.

OLD CORPSE ROAD

Old Corpse Road are steeped in the history of Britain; they breathe the myths and legends that form the fabric of this island kingdom. Every note of their unique black metal is infused with the magic of spells thought long forgotten and the ghosts of ancient days haunt the spaces between those notes.

DOG ROTTEN

Pengshui are a genre-smashing trio blending punk energy, grime attitude, and earth-shaking bass. 

Since their explosive 2018 debut, they’ve lit up stages from Download and Bloodstock to Glastonbury and Boomtown, dropped two fierce albums, and even caught the attention of The Prodigy for official remixes. Fronted by Illaman (Dave Penning), a former member of hip-hop collective Problem Child and an MC for the likes of Foreign Beggars, Goldie, Flux Pavilion and Chinese Man, and anchored by renowned bassist Fatty Bassman (Chris Hargreaves), co-founder of Submotion Orchestra and pioneering force in live electronic bass, they’re ready to tear down whatever’s in their path. With their third studio album locked and loaded, Pengshui are gearing up for their biggest chapter yet. Brace yourself — this isn’t just a band. It’s a movement.
