Mike Viola

THIS CONCERT TAKES PLACE AT CHATS PALACE, 42-44 Brooksby Walk, London E9 6DF A rare opportunity to catch the great Mike Viola at the grand surroundings of Chats Palace. Mike Viola. You probably already know him..

producer, songwriter, the kind of musician your favourite musicians quietly obsess over. Decades in, and somehow he keeps finding new generations to infect. Since 2019, he's been on a proper run.. The American Egypt, Godmuffin, Paul McCarthy..

all cut at his LA home studio, Barebones. Sold out US shows, a whole new fanbase, the usual. Then September 2024 brought Rock of Boston, recorded on half-inch tape over the winter of 2023, with Jake Sinclair on bass and Brendon Urie on drums. Viola wrote most of it on a Panic!

At The Disco tour bus, between soundcheck and showtime, sneaking into whatever local studio he could find on his days off. When the tour ended, he and the band just carried on playing, no gap, no breath, just straight from hockey arenas into the tape machine.

Which might explain why the riffs feel bigger. On 12th November 2026, he brings that to London's CHATS PALACE. No hyperbole necessary. Just go !
