THE LINE-UP
FIGHT THE CHAMP
NU HARDCORE • METALCORE • SOUTH WEST
SOUTH WEST NU HARDCORE. HEAVY RIFFS. RAW ENERGY.
Fight The Champ are a dynamic nu-hardcore band from the South West of England. Heavy riffs, powerful lyrics and a gritty blend of hardcore and metalcore are at the heart of their sound, delivered with the raw energy that has built their name in the underground metal scene.
Their high-octane live shows are made to leave audiences exhausted and exhilarated. Following a New Blood Stage appearance at Bloodstock in 2025, they bring that intensity to The Dead Famous for a November headline set.
Band members
Alex Morgz – Vocals
Liam Emberson – Guitar
Kurt Bond – Bass

ORCHID SYMMETRY
ALTERNATIVE ROCK • PUNK • METAL • CORNWALL
DARK, FEROCIOUS ALT-ROCK FROM THE HEART OF CORNWALL.
Formed in the heart of Cornwall, Orchid Symmetry bring you the darkest and most ferocious alt-rock the South West has to offer.
Huge riffs, big attitude and the presence to match. Fusing the grit of punk, the power of metal and the melody of alternative rock, they create a sound that’s intense, eclectic and unmistakably their own.
THERE’S ALWAYS TIME
PUNK ’N’ ROLL • BATH
BATH PUNK ’N’ ROLL WITH SOMETHING TO SAY.
There’s Always Time are a female-fronted punk ’n’ roll band from Bath. Their socially conscious lyrics come with a sense of humour: serious about the music, without taking life too seriously.
Bringing punk spirit and rock ’n’ roll attitude to the November line-up, T.A.T are here to get the room moving. Come down early and give them a proper Rotten Roots welcome.
ELECTRIC SKELETONS
STONER ROCK • PSYCHEDELIC • FUNK • PUNK • CORNWALL
SONIC EXPLOSIONS FROM CORNWALL. THEY WANT TO MELT YOUR TEETH.
Electric Skeletons are an eclectic five-piece bringing high-energy, electric-instrument sonic explosions to your earholes. Their sound moves from heavy, hard stoner rock to mellow, chilled-out psyche, with funk, punk and everything else in between.
Driving vocals and thundering drum patterns are key ingredients. Inspired by the need to rock out and dance, they make original music that embraces the unexpected. They can’t promise not to annoy some folks, but they’re ready to win over everyone who likes their music loud, loose and full of life.
