FRIDAY 8 MAY
Get ready to trade your mild plans for a full-blown adrenaline intervention. Copecaine kicks the doors in first with hard rock that leaves bruises.
Heavy Sunday drops in next with that riff-soaked, ‘Catfished’-era swagger, then Takeover steamrolls the rubble with their pop/punk/hardcore/alternative, because why pick a genre when you can just power through ’em all?
Right on their heels, Custard Pony proves why the night is already a highlight reel, before Burnout closes the whole thing out with ‘Wasted’ still ringing in your ears.

SATURDAY 9 MAY
Zamboni Jones kick things off with instrumental psych rock that warps, twists, and never asks for permission.
Then, The Ravons blast in with raw, snotty punk. Cuck Whos keep the old-skool wrecking ball swinging, bringing three-chord fury and zero apologies.
And just when you think your neck’s had enough, Everlong detonates the whole night, live and loud enough to shake the teeth out of your grin.

THURSDAY 14 MAY
Daylight Vandal hits the stage first with alt-rock and punk served ice cold and with a twist of lemon, sharp enough to make you pucker and loud enough to make you move.
Then Mister Man takes the stage, a conjunction of things you can’t quite name but definitely feel.
And just when you think you’ve got the night figured out, A Call Beyond tears it all apart with a deathcore beatdown that hits like a freight train through a house party.

SATURDAY 30 MAY – GARAGE PARTY
