Dry the River, Pulled Apart by Horses and FAMY will be performing at Rough Trade as part of the Transgressive Records’ 10th anniversary celebrations.

The acts will be playing at the outlet during August and September with Dry the River kicking off proceedings on 28 August.

From 26 August, Rough Trade will also be hosting a Transgressive-themed and artworked wall of releases.

The wall will feature rarities, modern classics and a host of Rough Trade-only exclusive formats as well as artwork from Tinhead, best known for providing cover and sleeve designs for early Foals releases on the imprint.

Toby L from Transgressive said: ‘Rough Trade are giving us our own "release wall" and a stage for some of our bands to perform on across the late summer.

‘Anyone who knows anything about music knows that Rough Trade has the best taste on the planet, so to be carrying on our 10th anniversary celebrations with them is a true privilege.’

The live dates are below;

Thursday 28 August: Dry the River (Rough Trade East)
Friday 5 September: Pulled Apart by Horses (Rough Trade East)
Monday 8 September: FAMY (Rough Trade West)

The label is also hosting an event at London’s Barbican as part of the celebrations in September. Read our news story to find out how to get tickets.
