Helgi's

Raw rock and metal nights in the heart of London. Bands from punk bruisers to heavy riff merchants. Regular lineups featuring local underground acts and touring crews. Loud, sweaty rooms where the focus is on the music and the mosh.

Helgi's programs straight-up rock, metal and punk bills: small British touring bands share the bill with local outfits and occasional international guests. The calendar is dense with gigs, often stacked three bands deep, from classic metal to crust punk and doom-tinged sets. Expect a no-frills live-club atmosphere geared toward people who come to watch and headbang. It's the kind of spot where new bands get stage time and fans come early for the support acts. Located in London, the venue fits into the city's DIY/underground circuit.
