Steve Ignorant is a singer/songwriter and artist. He co-founded the anarcho-punk band Crass with Penny Rimbaud in 1977. After Crass stopped performing in 1984, he worked with other groups including Conflict, Schwartzeneggar, Stratford Mercenaries, Current 93, and US punk band Thought Crime, as well as occasional solo performances. Steve is also a wood sculptor and volunteer on the Sea Palling Independent Lifeboat, has written his autobiography All The Rest Is Propaganda- and has worked as a traditional Punch and Judy performer using the name Professor Ignorant. Steve is now performing with his new band Slice Of Life. A far cry from the aggression of Crass, nevertheless compelling with powerful songs delivered in an acoustic style. Impossible to categorise, Slice Of Life's music is up-front and soul-baringly personal. It's a mixture of songs and spoken word that draws you in and stays with you long after the final note has been played. Debut album Love And A Lamp-post was released on Overground records in late 2014, surprising many with its honesty and change of style for Steve. A new bassist followed in early 2015, along with new songs and extensive touring all over the UK, as well as dates in Finland, and festival slots at Rebellion, Wickerman and Something Else A Bit North.

This show has moved from The Slade Rooms. All tickets remain valid The Birthday Massacre is from Toronto, Canada. Combining their interests in various musical and artistic styles, the band has successfully accumulated an impressive international fan base, press accolades, and defied categorization with their unique sound and visuals. The band was formed in 1999 and independently produced and recorded their first two albums, Nothing and Nowhere and Violet. Through both of these high-demand releases, as well as their highly acclaimed and beautifully atmospheric website, the band obtained a large and loyal fan base throughout the world. Due to their independent success, in 2005 they were approached and signed by Metropolis Records and the band began its steady climb to reaching a much wider audience with the 2007 release of the acclaimed and wildly popular Walking With Strangers. In the last few years, the band has been performing internationally, traveling extensively across Canada, the United States, Mexico, Australia, the U.K. and Europe. They have become renowned for their high-energy live performances, drawing large, mixed crowds through their appeal to fans of a surprisingly wide range of genres. Equally comfortable playing intimate venues as they are on a festival stage, the band's highly-praised performances will continue into the next year as they continue touring.

Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era. Joy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved much critical and commercial success. The influence of Joy Division, however, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Forty three years on you can relive the dark, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission - the UK's number one Joy Division tribute act.

Formed in Leicester in 1985 the Gaye Bykers on Acid rose to fame with their first independent release "Everythang's Groovy", which reached the Indie top 10. The Bykers followed their initial success with the "Nosedive Karma EP", which topped the independent charts. With their incendiary live shows their fan base grew, including a now infamous appearance at Glastonbury festival. The band were one of the first to fuse rocking riffs with Hip Hop beats and along with Pop Will Eat Itself became a part of the "Grebo" movement and in turn became front page news. Ahead of their time or just out of their minds, the Bykers were flavour of the month, which led the band to sign a deal with Virgin records, with whom they made 2 albums, "Drill your own hole" which was the soundtrack to a movie of the same name and the critically acclaimed "Stewed to the Gills". The Bykers then went stateside playing with the Cult at Madison Square Garden, where they impressed a watching Joey Ramone, who offered the band a support slot on the Ramones upcoming European tour. The band continued to evolve musically exploring new styles. Touring the UK, US and Europe it was this hedonistic and hectic schedule that eventually led the band to finally self-destruct in 1990... The original line up reformed in 2016 to play the Indie Daze festival and buoyed by the positive response they decided to carry on.

A Finland-based roots music collective with a penchant for turning heavy metal classics into front porch jamborees, Steve 'n' Seagulls formed in 2012 and began honing their signature hillbilly metal sound at theme events, cruises, clubs, and restaurants. By 2014, the quintet (banjo, spoons, upright, bass, accordion, and guitar) had inked a deal with Spinefarm Records on the strength of their increasingly popular YouTube videos, which saw the band laying down meticulously rendered bluegrass versions of songs like "The Trooper" (Iron Maiden), "Holy Diver" (Dio), and "Thunderstruck" (AC/DC). The following year saw the release of the group's debut studio album, Farm Machine, which featured covers that ranged from Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" to Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City."

With the title track of their debut album Without A Trace, Timmy Rough and his band colleagues landed on the compilation of the US cult biker TV series "Sons Of Anarchy" and thus also provided the song for the "Sons Of Anarchy" DVD trailer campaign in Germany. Since then, it´s been nothing less than a steady climb to the top. The band´s played hundreds of shows in their home country and abroad, signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records (Universal), and released another 4 albums; all of which enjoyed high chart positions. The 2019 album Nothing But Wild, with the rock radio hit "Down By The River," reached #10 in the German album charts!

This musical concept makes The New Roses one of the few contemporary German rock bands to play on international soil. Their tours have taken the band to the biggest festivals in Europe such as Hellfest (FR), Sweden Rock (SE), Hard Rock Hell (UK), Masters Of Rock (CZ), and Rockfest Barcelona (ES), among others, where they shared the stage with greats like Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, The Scorpions, KISS and many more.

Almost every synth-pop fan in Germany and elsewhere knows the name and the DE/VISION brand. The guys who formed at the end of the 80s, played their way from various youth clubs to a major record deal in the 90s and left behind countless hits and live shows. DE/VISION in a nutshell. DEVISION REDUX - what the hell is that? According to singer SteWen Keth, DEVISION REDUX is a new format of DE/VISION, which in no way means the end of the actual band. DEVISION REDUX is an additional format and stands for the most important tracks of DE/VISION in a clubbier, more modern, partly also more minimalistic, but purely electronic guise. SteWen has chosen none other than Daniel Myer (HAUJOBB, DSTR, COVENANT etc.) as his partner for any new interpretations: a man who has followed DE/VISION's history from the very beginning. Daniel already supported DE/VISION musically in the 90s with several remixes and was always a welcome guest with his projects in the supporting program. DEVISION REDUX will perform live with SteWen & Daniel for the first time in the Baltic States, then on German soil over Easter 2025 and will probably also expand their live presence beyond that.

SNAYX were formed from a mosh pit. Sure, the Brighton & Sheffield based trio have been in other bands before, dabbling in everything from indie rock to ska, but those groups never incited the communal carnage that Charlie Herridge, Ollie Horner and Lainey Loops crave. So they formed SNAYX, originally a two-piece, now a three. For a good chunk of time though, SNAYX was more of an idea than an actual band since the pair were too busy going to as many gigs as possible, rather than working on things like songs. They’d talk about SNAYX to anyone who would listen though, hungry to be part of the scene. And then in the smoking area of a Brighton venue, Hastings punks Kid Kapichi invited them to open for them. Of course, SNAYX said yes, despite the fact they didn’t have a finished song between them. That changed over a frantic few days, where all of those conversations about ethos, influence and intention quickly turned into a furious 30-minutes of music. The gig went better than it had any right to, and SNAYX were born. A series of support slots followed, alongside a very DIY headline tour. “That’s when everything clicked into place,” says Charlie. “Onstage we really understood what it was, and what it could be.”

Michigan-based metalcore band Still Remains is celebrating the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed Roadrunner Records debut, “Of Love and Lunacy.” Formed in Grand Rapids in 2001, the band quickly rose to prominence with their dynamic blend of European-inspired riffs, melodic hooks, heavy breakdowns, and ethereal keyboards. Driven by standout singles “The Worst Is Yet to Come” and “White Walls,” their Roadrunner debut became a defining album in the early-2000s metalcore movement, In their early years, Still Remains extensively toured with prominent names in metal, notably joining Trivium and 3 Inches of Blood on the 2005 Roadrage Tour and Bullet for My Valentine on the 2006 Kerrang! XXV Tour.
