Introducing...Adam Christensen! ๐Ÿ’ž

A Danish artist based in south London, makes performance, video, fabric and text works, and performs with the music project Ectopia, which was .arts.centreโ€™s band-in-residence in 2016 โœจ

Whether in homes, clubs, galleries or streets, his performances are always intimate stagings that combine personal recollections with theatrical deliveries ๐Ÿ”ฎ

Xtravagant costumes, heels, make-up. Emotionally affective accordion performances where the heaviness of voice and sorrow of delivery transport artist and listener somewhere else entirely! ๐Ÿงก

The third and final venue to introduce is ๐Ÿ›ธ

This is where we will be hosting our afterparty and dancing the night away until 5am ๐Ÿ’ƒ

This place was pretty ledgendary in the 90s back when it was Bluenote, when Russ Marlandโ€™s () party โ€˜Out in the Sticksโ€™ used to happen there every weekend โœจ In an article about the clubnight, called Todmorden โ€œa town famous for alien abductions, being home to two Nobel Prize winners and it's proximity to the hippy dippy Northern enclave that is Hebden Bridge. Overflowing with more good pubs than is necessary, there's a market that sells everything from baby grows to burritosโ€ฆ and a massive f**k off monument that gives whole place a distinctly acid-y, fallen rural idyll vibe.โ€ ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ‘ฝ

Swipe to see some snippets of a night we put on there recently ๐Ÿ’•

A venue that needs no introduction is ๐Ÿ’ฅ

This place has built a reputation not only in Todmorden but internationally - Gig and Wakaโ€™s commitment to the underground music scene has played a huge role in inspiring us to put on Iconoclast ๐Ÿ’•

In fact, Iconoclast might not even exist if it wasnโ€™t for Kiya and Kim first meeting there one evening, dancing the night awayโ€ฆwhich unsurprisingly lead to getting our t**s out on the dancefloor and we like to think this may have even played a part in inspiring the song โ€˜Dance Your Tit Out!โ€™ by ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ from one of the EPs out on Golden Lion Soundsโ€ฆ (oh yeah the Lion has itโ€™s own record label too!) โœจ

This year has already seen the likes of (Studio 54) + โ€ฆand we are super excited to see there next month! ๐ŸŽ‰

For Iconoclast in July, weโ€™ll be taking over the whole pub with music throughout the day and night, featuring some special live performances in the evening. Weโ€™re hoping upstairs will be as much of a sexy sweat pit as last year! ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ”ฅ

Introducing our first venue to kick off the festival is ๐ŸŒท

first opened in 2020 and is run by our good friends and talented artists + โœจ

We would consider this place our home and a vital community hub for many q***r artists and musicians in Todmorden ๐Ÿ’œ The list of treasured memories made here is countless... but some of our faves from the last year have been when played the most sweaty party for ever๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฅต, the Trans Pennine Excess party with mega babes + ๐Ÿ’•, NYE with all the lovely locals ๐ŸŽ‰ and many open decks sessions on a Sunday to soothe our hangovers ๐Ÿฅฐ

This year we will be kicking off the festival with the garden party on the terrace ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒฑ The day sesh will feature one of our very exciting headline acts (to be revealed soon!) ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ„

This place is proof that size doesn't matter! ๐Ÿ˜‰

PLEASE READ RE Valley Fever w/ Wes Baggaley + High Hoops THIS SATURDAY - CHANGE OF VENUE TO Nan Moor's 7PM - LATE!

***IMPORTANT CHANGE OF TIME + VENUE***

Yesterday we received disappointing news from Smoke Nightclub that they can no longer host our event on Saturday due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding covid, meaning they are unable to open this weekend. We are gutted ๐Ÿ˜ญ

BUT DO NOT FEAR... our good friends at Nan Moor's are coming to the rescue! ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ’• This means we will be turning Nan Moor's into a mini club, hooking up our great sound system and hosting the same line-up (!!!) from 7pm-LATE! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

This is going to be a very rare chance to see a mega lineup at a small, intimate venue! Anyone remember when we hosted Eris Drew + Octo Octa last year just before the first lockdown happened?! Well imagine that but with lasers and a smoke machine ๐Ÿ‘ฝโœจ

The night will now be limited capacity - with first come, first served on the door after ticket holders who will be guaranteed a spot. If you would like a refund, please message us and we can sort that out ๐Ÿ™ƒ

We are sad but also excited to turn this into a very unique event! Sending all our love ๐Ÿ’– ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ„๐ŸŒท๐Ÿ’š # # # # # # # # # # #

Itโ€™s gunna be ace and a proper good rave (itโ€™s till 5am!), so we hope to see you all there for more q***rs in the cuntry debauchery ๐Ÿ’• Weโ€™ll also be having a little pre-party do in Nan Moor's to get us in the party mood... so come have a few drinks with us ๐Ÿ˜˜ Letโ€™s keep the q***r scene alive in Tod! ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒฟ
