Throbbing Gristle mark 50 years with TG50 at the ICA on 18 October and a 36-show ‘TG24+’ USB box set

Throbbing Gristle mark their 50th anniversary with TG50, a day-long event at London’s ICA on 18 October 2026—exactly fifty years after the band’s public debut there during the COUM Transmissions ‘Prostitution’ exhibition in 1976. The free event features films, talks, music, and merchandise, including a paid conversation between Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti reflecting on the band’s early years and underground influence. Simultaneously, Mute Records announces ‘TG24+’, a limited-edition USB box set containing 36 newly remastered live performances, arriving 4 December 2026. This release extends a lineage beginning with 1980’s ‘TG24’ cassette series. The October 1976 debut provoked significant controversy, with conservative politicians denouncing the group. The band previously returned to the ICA in 2007 for sessions later released as ‘The Desertshore Installation’.
