THE LINE-UP
PARADOX TO STAY
METALCORE • NEWPORT, SOUTH WALES
Metalcore anthems built for the pit.
Your July headliners cross the bridge from Newport, South Wales with five-piece firepower: soaring melodic hooks welded to crushing, deathcore-sized breakdowns. Off the back of debut single ‘Coming Home’ and a relentless run of shows across South Wales, Paradox To Stay deliver twin-guitar grooves, huge choruses and the kind of energy that opens a pit in seconds. For fans of Bullet For My Valentine, Polaris and The Amity Affliction. See them in a small room while you still can.
SLOW DOWN WORLD
ALT-PROG HARD ROCK • DEVON
“Genre-defying. Stage-dominating. Unforgettable.”
Devon’s veteran riff merchants have been honing their craft since 2012, fusing alternative hard rock with the raw punch of punk and the layered drama of ’70s prog. With a catalogue stretching back over a decade – including 2025’s self-titled release – their sets gallop from soaring twin-guitar epics to full-throttle metal with twists you won’t see coming. For fans of Iron Maiden, Queen, Rush and Metallica. Every show is a journey; this one ends in Newquay.
DISGRACELAND
PUNK ‘N’ ROLL • EXETER
Dirty punk rock ‘n’ roll from the blackened heart of Devon.
Exeter three-piece Disgraceland deal in no-nonsense punk ‘n’ roll played with one foot welded to the accelerator – garage riffs, surf-rock swagger and absolutely zero filler. Seven releases deep and sharper than ever, with new EP ‘Penguins Can Fly’ landing this summer, they hit Newquay at their loudest and rowdiest. For fans of The Hives and The Wildhearts. Fast, loud and dangerous to know.
ARTICLE
INDIE ROCK • SOUTH-EAST CORNWALL & PLYMOUTH
The South West’s next wave starts here.
Flying the flag for homegrown talent, Article are the young indie-rock outfit the South West scene is starting to talk about. With debut demos ‘Blind’ and ‘No One’s There’ out now and a live set stacked with anthems-in-waiting like ‘Take Me Away’ and ‘Outta Time’, expect guitar-driven melody with proper swagger. They kick the night off – be in the room early and earn your ‘I saw them first’ bragging rights.
DON'T GET LEFT ON THE OUTSIDE
Four bands. One night. A night of riffs, metal, rock and punk right in the heart of Newquay at The Dead Famous. Newquay’s premier alternative night packs out fast – grab your mates, sort your tickets, and see you in the pit.
Friday 3rd July 2026 • The Dead Famous, Newquay • Doors 8PM
