TEMPLE OF ART AND MUSIC
Live Music
Bands and artists on TAM's stage across the whole run, from first chord to last orders.
TAM presents a festival of live music
Live music, scene takeovers and the young artists of TAM Open Music Academy, all under the stained-glass glow of our Shard Christmas tree at Mercato Metropolitano.
The theme song
“The Best Christmas Ever”
DANA GILLESPIE
The festival takes its name from Dana Gillespie's song, written for nights exactly like these. Dana is TAM's Mentor in Residence, and the song sets the tone for the whole season: loud, warm and built for a room full of people.
Press play on the trailer. The frame around it moves on every beat of the chorus.

Tickets
Pick your night
Every night is priced on its own. The more of you there are, the less each ticket costs, and startup teams of four or more get their own pack.
Small teams, one big table
Team Tables
Too small for a Christmas party of your own? Share one. Teams start a table, other teams join it, and everyone gets a bigger night.
- Book a startup pack or a small group and choose Start a team table.
- Your table appears here for that night, with your team name and a line about you.
- Other teams book the same night and join, until the table's seats are full.
