Wreck ‘n’ Roll Cirkus No. 1
Born out of the bones of a traveller circus the first Great Wreck ‘n’ Roll Cirkus took place at the Millenium Drome, under London Bridge train station, on December 3rd 1999. 220 performers included 20 bands, 40 DJs and 6 stages. It attracted a lot of publicity and 2,500 sub-cultural punters but lost loads of money.

Wreck ‘n’ Roll Cirkus No. 2
The second Cirkus happened again at the Millenium Drome in March 2000 from a starting point of one lone fellah with 60 quid. 10 bands, 2 stages and 10 DJs attracted a good crowd. It went well but lost loads of money (again).

Wreck ‘n’ Roll Cirkus No. 3
We celebrated a wedding in a circus tent outside Brighton in August 2000. The ingredients included an exhibition of sculpture. A few thousand perps lasted for a whole weekend but still lost the organisers a big bunch of cash (as usual).

Wreck ‘n’ Roll Cirkus No. 4
This Cirkus was held at Tyson’s Studios in Hackney. 4 stages, 15 bands and 10 DJs provided another all-nighter which went down well on the front line with over one thousand punters attending for their cultural kicks.

Wreck ‘n’ Roll Cirkus No. 5
This awesome travelling Cirkus resurrected itself (with its now expected mix of sounds, visuals and performance theatre) in Brighton on Jan 24th 2002 with a sister show in Bristol (organised by Paul DiSease, the younger DS brother) in April of the same year. Blistering ferocity came in the form of H/C acts Disorder, Flatpig and a reformed 2OOODS; old-skool punx Brian James and the Lords of the New Church showed their sonic calibre whilst cyberpunx Criminals of Evolution show the fogies how to do it with 21st Century style.

Ever Moving... the next Wreck 'n' Roll Cirkus will be on the streets and up yur alley, reeeeel soon!
