X-posure Live All Dayer

14+ (Under 16’s accompanied with an adult 18)

Barfly Camden and Radio X have announced the return of X-Posure Live to the Chalk Farm Road stage. The iconic new music showcase, hosted by John Kennedy, will become a monthly residency at the relaunched venue, giving the show that has helped introduce generations of artists a permanent home in the room where so many greats first started out.

The residency launches on Thursday 22nd October with the unstoppable Bolton four-piece Florentenes, already a favourite on Kennedy's show. Also announced are the X-Posure All-Dayer (16th January 2027) and Big Truck on (18th February), with much more to come.

Before Barfly closed in 2016, X-Posure Live had made Chalk Farm Road one of its most cherished stages. Wolf Alice played here under the X-Posure Live banner. So did Sam Fender, Interpol, Frank Turner, The Horrors and Miles Kane.

At the time, these nights felt like the best-kept secret in London; artists captured at the precise moment before everything changed for them, witnessed by crowds that understood their gravitas. In that sense, X-Posure Live at Barfly didn't just showcase new music; it created moments that still resonate now.
