A showcase gig celebrating the wildly raucous talents of some of the best emerging bands in the north east and beyond.
Handpicked by the organiser, Stephen Lovell (@sjlhistorian), to mark his 45 years on the planet.
Idle Hands will command with their trademark ferociously heavy alternative rock meets shoegaze sounds.
Central Arcade will captivate with their gritty post-punk guitar and increasingly politicised anthems.
Stageminus will excite with their fully dialled heavy grunge fuelled energy
