Black Tongue Events are breaking barriers and building a community through music. Black Tongue Events continue to push boundaries and defy expectations.
After an incredible start with their first event, a packed night that set the tone for what’s to come. The second show proved just how strong our community is. Despite stormy weather, more than 50 people turned out to support the lineup and keep the energy alive, marking another proud chapter in the growth of Black Tongue.
We’re a company built by people who were never meant to be centre stage yet here we are, growing month by month, standing proud, and creating something real for both artists and audiences alike.
Past Highlights. Our previous shows have seen line-ups packed with heavy hitters from across the UK underground scene, including:
Hull sludge legends Battalions, Hull newcomers Defector
Leeds deathcore upcomers Biomech, Sheffield’s own The Shipman Enquiry…and many more.
Each event has shown the same thing, that passion, community and authenticity can build something special from the ground up.
