THE LINE-UP
THE PHANTOM DIVISION
SYNTHWAVE • DARKWAVE • GOTHIC ROCK • SOUTH WEST
AN ’80s HORROR SYNTHWAVE SPECTACLE.
The Phantom Division are a three-piece from South West England, taking audiences on a neon-lit journey through huge synths, glamorous guitars, thunderous drums, saxophone and hook-heavy choruses.
Rooted in raw, nostalgic darksynth and cinematic horror, their Dressed to Kill album widened that sound into a multi-genre rush of gothic rock, metal and synthwave — a perfect headline soundtrack for Halloween.
VIRTUE IN VAIN
METALCORE • SOUTH WALES
CHAOTIC, CATHARTIC METALCORE BUILT FOR THE LIVE ROOM.
Hailing from South Wales, Virtue In Vain have earned their reputation through unrelenting energy on record and on stages across the UK. Their songs pair visceral heaviness with emotional themes of identity, struggle and transformation.
From For All You Know Is The Mask I Wore and Dusk // Dawn through The Whispers Of Sleep, Preservation and Nothing Is All I Am, the band have shaped a fiercely personal body of work designed to leave a lasting impression.
O'DEUS
GRUNGE ROCK • STONER ROCK • HARD ROCK • CORNWALL
POWERFUL CORNISH GRUNGE ROCK, FRONTED BY JAZZ URELL.
O’Deus are a four-piece hard-rock band from Cornwall, with Jazz Urell on vocals, Richard Searby-Bates on guitar, Christer-Henning Danielsson on bass and Chris Tofts on drums.
Jazz’s clean, soulful power cuts across heavy modern riffs, grunge grit and stoner-rock tones. Drawing on Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Royal Blood, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, O’Deus have built a reputation for tight, high-energy live performances.
COFFIN FODDER
BLACKENED THRASH • UKBM • KERNOW
BLACKENED THRASH FROM KERNOW’S DARKEST KEEPS.
Coffin Fodder conjure cutting riffs, punk-charged drums and haunting keys into a blood-and-fire collision of blackened thrash, occult atmosphere and medieval fantasy whimsy.
With Hex Ghoul, Phlack Billip, Kowanden and Cernunnos at the ritual, releases including the 2025 debut, VVitchstorm and Flay Thee Gatekeepers have made the band one of Cornwall’s most distinctive new underground metal acts.
DON'T GET LEFT OUT IN THE DARK
Four UK acts. One Halloween night. Synthwave, metalcore, stoner rock and blackened thrash in the heart of Newquay at The Dead Famous. Dress up, bring your mates and get ready for Rotten Roots after dark.
