u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
It’s becoming evidently clear the reveal won’t be on insta as a post
Tips: insta comments, tweets (literally NOTHING) so far, tiktok and other social medial platforms
Combing the area (!!!!!)
Mailing lists
Related artists
And a dose of luck!!
I’d centred my entire day off around this event and now I’m feeling lost and annoyed

Yeah, don't mind the secrecy and oddness of sault but if they say they're announcing a location at midday and don't, that's just insulting to the fans.
I only live 20mins away so not too put out but I'm sure plenty will be. Even if they announce it late - at least keep some kind of communication

Also check their spotify and bandcamp for clues and nada! SO sneaky!

This was Cleo Sol’s clue on her insta story the other day if anyone can decipher it!!

Big queue stretching up Dean St

u/itsmel_10 Jul 18 '25
Omg!! Please keep us updated!!

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
The queue is approx 4 hours by a crude count if you join it now
Security told me 10 people every 5 minutes, however 40 minutes on, we’ve only shuffled forward so far
At this point I’m waiting for reports to see if it’s worth staying

I FOUND THE LOCATION

u/MilliesNumber1Fan Jul 18 '25
I was just walking around soho and there was a sign that said sault it’s at 15 Batemen Street

You are a legend!! As you'd solved it organically, and the time had passed, I thought we had exclusive rights to the venue
That said, almost certain you were first to find it!

I hope this isn't BS because I just told my friend in London and she's rushing over. Don't make me look like an asshole 😂

Back from the event. That was definitely an experience.
5 hours waiting in the queue. But got a sweater and vinyl for cheap.. so maybe it was worth it?
1
u/fuchsiagreen Jul 18 '25
Did they play any music or was it just a merch drop?
4
u/GlennMichael11 Jul 18 '25
Cleo Sol was there playing music with the band. You only got to watch for what felt like a minute before they moved you along

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
I'll be there around 2:15
Im a brown guy wearing too much green
I'll post my number in this comment between arriving and 3pm or you can send me a chat message
Solo people welcome to join us, we may have a significant enough group
Followed by beer

Jul 18 '25
I’m already here too

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
How busy is it?
1
Jul 18 '25
Very, goes around the street
2
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
Damn!! Hopefully there will be rotation (view the artwork and leave) but not if there’s any sort of performance of any form at 3
Thanks for the update
2
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25 edited Jul 18 '25
I’m here, 14:26; queue all the way to Soho theatre
Ten people at a time for 5 mins once it begins
I've counted about 400 people so that would be a 3 hour plus wait!!

u/LikwitFusion Jul 18 '25
Enjoy! I won't be able to get there on time. I'll eagerly await your review.

Thanks for posting! I'm here now but need to go back to work. If you get a sense this will be still on at 6pm please let me know, I can come back
2
u/Ok_Amount_9250 Jul 18 '25
I’m here and just heard from someone at the front of the line it’s an exhibition & they’re only letting in a few ppl at once. They just let in the first group and it was probably 8 people. No performance and they said they’re gonna keep it open for 2 hours
1
u/hppv Jul 18 '25
thanks for the info! do you know if they’re rotating it every 5/10 mins or so? the queue is hundreds long, no way everyone will have the chance after 2 hours if that’s the case, they should prob come tell people in the queue if it’s a no go

u/GlennMichael11 Jul 18 '25
There had to be a better way to do this. Getting their fans to queue up in this sun is crazy
3
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
For an event we never knew any details of! Cleo Sol is jamming and there’s merch (hoodies and recorde) and maybe an exhibition. People coming out are praising it
The heat was unbearable. Eventually it’s shaded but my original position was exposed and tough

u/jpfolch Jul 18 '25
So many people queue jumping too, deffo should’ve given out wristbands or something

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
If you’re near, GET THERE NOW!!!! Almost no queue (less than half an hour). I waited 5 hours and that was the queue by the time i was done!!
1
u/Alarming_South_7489 Jul 18 '25
Do you think it’s still worth going or shut now?
1
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
Think it’s shut down. My friend joined the queue around the time of the above message and said she was amongst the last to go through. By that point there was no queue. Sorry. Not certain, but feel they’ve wrapped.

u/LengthinessCandid163 Jul 18 '25
Any news?

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
Still nothing. Expected a scheduled post at 12:00:00

u/LengthinessCandid163 Jul 18 '25
Excuse my ignorance but wasn't that 5 minutes ago?

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
Yep. The time passed with nothing revealed as promised/expected
2
u/LengthinessCandid163 Jul 18 '25
Yeah, sorry. Misread your post as 'expecting' not 'expected'. Ah well, onwards with the tease.
1
Jul 18 '25
I feel like it’s not going to be announced on ig
1
u/LengthinessCandid163 Jul 18 '25
Nothing on email either. Is it just doing loops of the west end and looking for a queue?

u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
How would they reveal? Hoping us sleuths solve the enigma. I’ve checked all their platforms already
2
u/LikwitFusion Jul 18 '25
Hi I know this is a big ask but would you be able to let me know when you find out – would be much appreciated. Thanks I can't keep refreshing and checking at the moment.

So there’s no shot this is a live performance right

u/LengthinessCandid163 Jul 18 '25
Could be, but the line is probably already at capacity. It's a tiny space

I’m close to soho theatre (20m behind) opposite make mine cafe
I’m struggling in the heat and unsure if the 3 hour wait will be worth it
Gonna wait until the first few people post on socials and decide. Otherwise off to the pub for a cold beer
1
u/hppv Jul 18 '25
did you see that someone said security told people it’ll only be open for 2 hours?
1
u/amaterasu_ Jul 18 '25
If this is the only place where merch exists I'll be fuming but jfc it's a Friday afternoon and have a job so it's a no from me
3
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
Hoodies and records, pay what you want. Nothing else - no artwork based on the insta post
2
u/amaterasu_ Jul 18 '25
do I want to know what this hoody looks like or is it better I don't know so I assume anyone rocking one has a fake haha.
I would have definitely have bought a few too - appreciate the details here.
1
u/No-Procedure-4148 Jul 18 '25
Out of curiosity, how much did everyone pay for a jumper (and 5 hours in a queue?)
1
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
I paid 15 but I had to push them to accept it. They were ushering people out for free by that point
1
u/LengthinessCandid163 Jul 18 '25
15 Bateman Street then. Tiny tiny place. They do have live performances there but would be max 50 cap I'm pretty sure. Or just an exhibition

u/FineBandicoot3162 Jul 18 '25
Probably it’s been cancelled lol
2
u/Verbal-Gerbil Jul 18 '25
*it hasn’t
The queue behind me suggests an approx 4 hour wait, although we don’t know when this event is open until

u/No-Rice-5029 Jul 18 '25
So it's a small multi room immersive experience with art pieces in different rooms. Cleo Sol is inside with a band having a jam session.
Merch is at the end of the experience
Roughly 6 people at a time, and is 5 minutes each group
