Definitely Mightbe

Definitely Mightbe

29 Aug 2026 - 19 Mar 2027

Well, Oasis are no more. The back stage bust ups and public slanging matches on Twitter proved too much for this great British band. Thankfully, their No1 Tribute-Definitely Mightbe (now in their twelfth year) don’t share the same sibling rivalry as the real thing, but they do have a lot in common when it comes to reproducing the rousing anthems, stage presence and atmosphere that the originals created. With over two hours of material to draw from, including all the hit’s from all seven albums, live favourites, B-sides and a couple of Noel’s acoustic number’s, when the boys start there’s no stopping them. And who wants to stop when everybody’s having a good time? Lead singer Ian bears an uncanny resemblance to Liam and has worked as a look-a-like in the UK appearing on BBC1, Channel 4, Sky TV and ITV. Publicity campaigns and advertising for HMV, Virgin, Q Magazine, Loaded, Royal Bank Of Scotland, Lloyds Bank and the National Press. Ian was also asked to star in a video for heavy metal legends MOTORHEAD as Liam and also providing a voice over for a recent documentary accompanying the new Oasis-”Time Flies” DVD. To add to this, Ian has the knack of sounding like Liam too and was asked to provide the vocals on a dance remix of Wonderwall set for release in summer 2010. Paul Mitchell takes up the reigns as Noel and mimics the riffs and lead breaks with such precision you’d think you were listening to the CD. A very loud CD. While the rhythm section of Kev Pyne on bass and Pete Coppard on drums keep everything locked together and completes the DEF MB family. So, as good as the real thing? Well, the lengendary Alan McGee thought so when he recently introduced the band live on stage! So they…..Definitely Mightbe.

In her short career the talent of Amy Winehouse created a lasting impression on the music world of the 21st century. Recording three critically acclaimed albums from her debut ‘Frank’ in 2003, the Grammy Award winning ‘Back to Black’ in 2006 and the posthumous ‘Lioness’ in 2011 along with the covers of ‘Cupid’ and ‘Valerie’ with Producer Mark Ronson no one can deny the talent and impact of this often misunderstood star.

Lioness provide, without doubt, the most authentic recreation of Amy Winehouse, designed to entertain and deliver the experience of Amy at her very best. Having recently completed their first two UK and Irish tours the response from the audience has exceeded all expectations. Selling out shows and covering over 8,000 miles and selling in excess of 7,000 tickets in the past year The Amy Winehouse Experience have delivered at every level.

Founded in 1984 by Chuck Schuldiner in Altamonte Springs, Florida, Death was among the more widely known early pioneers of death metal, along with California’s Possessed.

The backbone of Death To All comprises original Death members: the legendary drummer Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, Dethklok), bass beast Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Sadus), guitarist Bobby Koelble (Death), joined by singer/guitarist Max Phelps (Exist, Cynic).

Wolves In The Throne Room

Wolves In The Throne Room

9 Nov 2026 - 9 Nov 2026

“Our music invokes the Spirits that reside in the mountains and rivers--the Sun and Moon, the plants and animals. These deities have been with us since ancient times, but their voices have been drowned out in the modern world.” That’s Aaron Weaver talking about the driving force behind Wolves In The Throne Room, the band he founded with his brother Nathan in 2002. It’s a force that’s been with them since their formative years-long before their stunning debut, Diadem Of 12 Stars, established them as black metal’s new atmospheric vanguard in 2006. Since then, they’ve carved their own path through the wilderness to hearts and minds around the globe with such highly regarded works as Two Hunters (2007), Celestial Lineage (2011), Thrice Woven (2017) and Primordial Arcana (2021). Two decades into their journey as shamanic conjurors, Wolves In The Throne Room emerged from the forest with their latest EP, Crypt Of Ancestral Knowledge (2023), to tide the fans over until their next full-length is unleashed. Presented by Old Empire. 14+ under 16s accompanied by an adult
