Rolling Stones Unseen is a seismic moment in rock history, a brand new public exhibition that unveils 100 astonishing 1963 photographs of The Rolling Stones, captured by the fearless Gus Coral. Picture this: it’s autumn 1963, and five young rebels, Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts, are tearing up the UK on their first tour, sharing stages with giants like The Everly Brothers and Bo Diddley. Gus Coral, a photographer with an eye for greatness, immortalised their untamed spirit in images that have been hidden for nearly six decades. Now, these breathtaking photographs explode into the spotlight at Dockside Vaults, Ivory House, London, E1W 1AT, from June 6 to September 10, 2025. With tickets starting at £15 (including a house beer, wine, or soft drink on arrival), this is your chance to witness the birth of legends in a way no one ever has.
Meet Gus Coral
At 86, Gus Coral is the unsung hero who saw The Rolling Stones’ destiny before the world did. Risking it all in 1963, he documented a then-unknown band with a fire in their souls. “I knew they’d be legends,” he recalls. His rediscovered archive, unseen for nearly 60 years, is a treasure trove of rock ‘n’ roll history, now yours to experience.
