THE LINE-UP
MOTHER VULTURE
METAL • ROCK • ALT ROCK • NEWQUAY, CORNWALL
“SOMEWHERE BETWEEN ROYAL BLOOD AT THEIR FUZZIEST, BIFFY CLYRO AT THEIR HEAVIEST AND QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE AT THEIR MOST CRAZED AND CHAOTIC.”
Kerrang
Described as “one of Britain’s most exciting new noises” by Kerrang! and “The new kings of British rock music” by Distorted Sound, everyone seems to agree it’s a hard sound to put a finger on, but it’s impossible to look away. The band perform almost like an early 2000s hardcore band in terms of raw feral energy, but play a bouncy and infectiously fun style of fuzzy riff rock, with elements of Stoner Punk, Desert Rock and even Metalcore present in the band’s melting pot of sound.
MOOSEHEAD
HARD ROCK • STONER ROCK • ALT METAL • NEWQUAY
CHUNKY RIFFS, RAW VOCALS & SOUL SEARING GUITAR SOLOS
NEWQUAY BASED BAND MOOSEHEAD HAVE BEEN CARVING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES ON THE ROCK MUSIC SCENE SINCE THEY FORMED IN 2022.
Bringing chunky riffs,raw vocals & soul searing guitar solos,they are currently in the studio recording the follow up to their debut album ‘Carved In Stone’ which received a 10/10 review in Powerplay rock and metal magazine and full page interview.
Previously supporting Brant Bjork Trio, Jamie Lenman, King Creature and Earthtone9 they have headlined Cornwall Tattoo Convention 2025 and the Indian Motorcycle UK National Rally 2025 and now they are joining Mother Vulture for an epic line up of chaos!
JET GENERATION
ROCK ‘N’ ROLL • DEVON
Powerpop rock ‘n’ roll ratbois from the South West ⚡ Tales of romance, realness and reckless societal decline
Jet Generation are a powerpop rock ‘n’ roll outfit dragging the spirit of the three-minute banger kicking and screaming into the South West. Equal parts hooks and havoc, they trade in tales of romance, realness and reckless societal decline
BOSS CASS
ONE MAN PUNK ROCK • SOUTH WEST
ONE MAN PUNK POWERHOUSE!
BOSS CASS is the South West’s very own one-man punk powerhouse. Armed with fuzzy guitars and an old school ghetto blaster, BOSS CASS has built a fiercely loyal grassroots following through his high-energy, cheeky, and infectious live shows. Sonically, you’ll find Boss Cass sandwiched somewhere between Soft Play, Beastie Boys, and IDLES, but the entire package is 100% completely and authentically BOSS CASS.
Since bursting onto the scene in 2022, he’s smashed over 170 DIY gigs across the UK, performed at Glastonbury, Boardmasters, Burn It Down Festival, Great Estate, Little Orchard, Leopallooza, Outcider, Attitude Festival and many more with no professional representation – just pure punk rock grit. He’s landed support slots with Fat Dog, Getdown Services, Heavy Lungs, The Meffs, Carsick, Native James, Mother Vulture, quickly securing his status as a legend in the underground alt-punk music scene. Not to mention countless radio plays on BBC Introducing, and being chosen multiple times as their “Artist Of The Week”.
