The Auricular

08/21/2026

Come celebrate eight years of The Auricular at The Camel on Saturday, September 12th!

This year’s anniversary show is a love letter to the sounds that make Richmond music unforgettable, bringing together punk, hip-hop, rock, electronica, and more from Human Worm, Logos The Poetic, Gaffer, Habeeb, and Madison Turner.

Tickets are $12 in advance (ticket link in the comments) and $15 the day of the show. Doors open at 7:00 PM and music begins at 8:00 PM. And you’re going to want to show up right at doors for this one.

The first 50 people through the door receive a FREE copy of a limited-edition compilation, a double cassette we’re putting together with the fine folks at Mind Banana Records. First come, first served, so grab your ticket in advance and make plans to get to the show early!

Kudos to BMC for designing another fantastic flyer for what will be another fantastic anniversary show.
