Cable Street

Collective

“Such a great live band.”  – John Kennedy, RadioX

Band Bio

London’s Cable Street Collective broke through onto the UK festival circuit with the release of their first EP, ‘The Best of Times’, in 2014, which earned support from the likes of John Kennedy (Radio X) and Tom Robinson (BBC 6Music). In the years since, they’ve built up a stellar reputation as a live band, playing Glastonbury multiple times, as well as Boomtown, Shambala, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, The Isle of Wight  Festival, and the Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi.

They released their second EP, ‘Where Now From Here?’ in 2018, earning glowing reviews from the likes of Clash Magazine, followed by their full-length debut album ‘Battle Lines’ in June 2022—both earned further support from BBC 6Music, with two of Battle Lines’ singles being selected for Tom Robinson’s end of year “best of” mixtapes.

They are currently working on their second full-length album, scheduled for release in spring 2026. Singles from the album are dropping throughout 2025.

Their music mixes African-influenced guitars and beats with soulful female vocals, socially-conscious lyrics and western melodies. Horn hooks abound, creating a idiosyncratic alt-pop sound that’s all their own.

The band take their name from the Battle of Cable Street, the anti-fascist demonstration on 4th October 1936 which saw the people of East London come together to deny Oswald Mosley’s Blackshirts a chance to march.
