🎸 The Nevers in Stage 2 at The Stables, Milton Keynes
Friday 12 December 2025
Time: 20:45
🎸 With unforgettable melodies, drumbeats that don’t let you stand still and epic guitar solos, The Nevers prove that rock music still isn’t finished!
This four-piece emerged in the late summer of 2024, providing fans with a wide selection of memorable songs that’ll stay with you forever. Audiences were captivated by the raw vocal power of their frontman, the delicately intricate lines of their lead guitarist and an enthralling rhythm section.
The Nevers have been touring across Hertfordshire and London, demonstrating their gripping sound at several sold-out, headline shows that left the audience counting the days until the next show.
The band's fans can now look forward to the eagerly anticipated debut EP, Give Me A Call. A three-song collection of Back Seat, a fan favourite with explosive vocals and equally exciting drums, Lady Blossom, a mysteriously catchy track with heavenly high harmonies, and, of course, the title track Give Me A Call, a song to last the ages.
The Nevers formed in April 2024 with Joe Cusack (Lead Vocals), Stanley Nunes (Drums) and Lucas Brasenell (Lead Guitar). With tireless rehearsing and writing they have achieved the perfect sound we hear today. The final piece of the puzzle was when George Rowe (Bass) was announced as the last member to join the band in June 2024.
“Turn it up, listen with us," they say. “How could we not?” is the response given by supporters. The Nevers are gaining momentum and a following! They are destined for great things, that's for sure! This is a band you’ll want to keep a keen eye on.
🎟 TICKET PRICE: £13.50 (inc. £1.50 cmsn)
You can book tickets via the event link.

Access Bookings* for some performances are not available online, please contact a member of our Box Office Team on 01908 280800 or email boxoffice@stables.org in order to book or to advise of any additional requirements you may have.
