First up… a hot prospect from Canada – a band that helped blow away Infest last year – and one that quite a few people have asked us to book…
We give you…
ACTORS
they are a band that quite a few people have asked us to book! They electrify with a modern take on post-punk, despite influences from Bowie, Joy Division etc, they remain fresh and urgent, their music stands on it’s own, full of life and unforgettable hooks! Post punk never sounded so good!
Tragedy – new album and video out now

“A pure work of art. I’ve smiled, been amazed and a whole heap of other emotions I didn’t even know existed. This is a contender for album of the year, (and we’re only in February). It’s going to take a lot to beat this.”

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing hail from London, UK. They sing loud punk rock songs about the Victorian era, and have been gleefully rubbing the face of present day Britain in the rotten corpse of its past since 2008, in the hope that it will learn from its mistakes (it hasn’t).

There have already been some applications come through from some great bands already. Some new names alongside those who’ve been in before. We’re still in the early stages of plotting the 2019 competition, so there are plenty of spaces still available.

Tragedy Goes to the Movies – World Tour
with very special guests : Hot Sex For Boys
In a world suffering under decades of tyranny, emerges a band of warriors, endowed with superior powers – carnal and spiritual. Fighting fire with even hotter fire. And at last, liberating humanity from the limp fist of false Disco-Metal.
