Ready to raise the roof with Day 2 of the 'Everywhere at Once ' Festival with more great bands
The Winonas are a raw pulse of noise and nerve - a post-punk eruption born from the tension between beauty and abrasion. Channeling the restless spirit of Nirvana and the precision chaos of Helmet, they twist melody through distortion until it bleeds something entirely their own. Their sound growls with Fugazi's moral urgency and PJ Harvey's emotional gravity - equal parts confession and confrontation. Every riff feels handmade, every lyric scratched out in a moment of truth. The Winonas live by the DIY ethos: no polish, no compromise, no middlemen - just conviction amplified through cranked amps and cracked voices. Onstage, they trade control for catharsis, turning dissonance into devotion. It's not nostalgia; it's rebirth - post-punk resurrected in sweat and static, a reminder that sometimes the dirtiest sounds hit the cleanest nerves.
Up and coming hard rock band R.J. Archer & the Painful Memories play their debut Met Lounge show supporting Peterborough rock legends Austin Gold who sold out the venue in 2025 - and ticket sales are suggesting the same thing is going to happen again.
Hailing from Huntingdon, R.J. Archer & the Painful Memories have been steadily building momentum since their third album "The Cost of Loving Crisis" - receiving lots of airplay on radio stations like Total Rock, Rock Radio UK, Emerging Rock Bands, and Amazing Radio; and critical comparisons being drawn to everyone from MC5 to UFO to Dr.Feelgood! A single from the album, 'Out of Line' was selected from thousands of submissions to compete in the Kerrang! and Marshall-sponsored competition 'The Deal'. Live shows with cult rock bands like Slady and Gypsy's Kiss plus numerous festival appearances, have earned them their reputation as a band to look out for.
Listen to 'Out of Line' (from 'The Cost of Loving Crisis')

About the Festival
Everywhere At Once is not a festival in a field. It's a festival on your doorstep, no tent required. Forget the trek, the traffic and the campsites. This summer's most exciting live music experience will happen in a venue near you, where audiences will be able to experience that festival energy in the intimate setting of the UK's vital grassroots music venues.
In 2021, The National Lottery and MVT cemented their partnership with The National Lottery's Revive Live Tour, which helped venues re-open and rebuild following the impact of Covid. The partnership will be delivered by Music Venue Trust alongside Save Our Scene and the Association of Independent Promoters, bringing the grassroots network together for a shared national moment of live music.
Audiences will also be given the opportunity to support a range of exceptional and vital music charities at point of purchase, with donations supporting War Child, Nordoff and Robbins, Help Musicians UK, and Teenage Cancer Trust.
