THURSDAY 28TH MAY . LORA & THE STALKERS
Rome-based alt-rock band Lora & The Stalkers blend noise-driven dissonance with a strong pop attitude and harmonically adventurous arrangements. Deeply influenced by the gritty, cinematic atmosphere of their home city, the band creates a sound where Italian melodic heritage meets modern avant-rock. After the second album No Desire Control—with the single Lonely Heart gaining national TV (LA7) and national radio airplay (RAI RADIO 2)—the band followed up with Morning Hours. The new material, including the single Social Anxiety, has been featured by Bluesbunny for its "intriguing atmospheric depth" and by Girl Underground Music for its gritty, sharp delivery. Following a run of shows at Liverpool’s legendary Cavern Club, they are returning to the UK in May 2026 for a new tour.

7pm - Pan Am Smile - A high energy, electronic-metal three-piece. Setting the stage alight with unbound madness and intense grooves. This is heavy music that was made to dance to.
8pm - Dreadnought -The Masked Menace. Blending everything from grime to metal with a relentless anger over heavy beats. Using his ADHD to his advantage he creates a cinematic and unique sound. Slick, gritty and pit worthy.9pm - n0trixx - A self-produced artist diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder (DID). She delivers dark lyrics in multiple languages over an intense symphony of trap metal. Two very distinct identities inhabit her body and so she hides her face behind a mask to protect their privacy.
10pm - FMA + 12 Gage - Two MC's bound by blood. A high energy, father and son duo who blend electronic, metal and rap to create an intense live show. Autistic and dyslexic, they create to survive.
11pm - The Neurodivergent Crew - Made up of n0trixx, Dreadnought & FMA + 12 Gage, this collective was formed to represent those that do not fit in. Get ready to move!

THURSDAY 10TH SEPT GARY MEIKLE RETURNS
Gary Meikle returns to the stage with another new show which has quickly become the yearly norm for him now. Hi guys it’s me, Gary. These blurbs do my head in if I’m honest, each year I need to sit and write one out before I even know what stories I’m gonna share, well I mean I don’t have to write one I could pay something else to do it but f*** that they’d just write some mundane vague crap which I can clearly do myself. At least this way you know I’ve written it personally. So what’s the new show about? Again, I don’t know yet, but it will contain at least one ‘yer maw’ Joke, what I do know is that it’ll be another brand new 80-90 minutes of stories, opinions and observations about me, and my family as well as you all its always about people and the mad shit we do, sometimes animals but more often than not it’s about people and the stupid scenarios we end up in. I wonder if that’s now enough wordage to cover the minimum blurb requirement? I guess we’ll see, and I’ll see you all soon maybe – oh, one last thing, my show isn’t suitable for small people, some of it might be about them, in fact it definitely will but, yeah they ain’t getting in 🙂
