Agent & client will be seriously pissed off, but you'll be "free" of the contract without, technically, being in breach and you'll never have to set foot on the client's site.
This is stupid ******* idea.

Alternate is I have to go through the notice myself albeit reluctantly

Have you formally accepted the second contract? If not, I would offer to work the notice period on this one if applicable (do check the contract specifies a notice period - some don't). As the contract is for 5 months, it may be best for the client and agency to find someone else for the entire duration.
I hope it works out for you.
