<p>Electric Callboy are just wrapping up their summer festival commitments in their usual excess – last week they played sets at Germany’s Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring, France’s Heavy Week-End and Czechia’s Rock For People before travelling to Donington for a main stage show at Download. Their shows packed with heavy pop covers, frequent costume changes, plus obscene amounts of lights and fireworks have made them highly in-demand with booking agents worldwide.</p>
<p>As a result of their ever-rising profile, their UK headline shows have been few and far between – their last was a single massive takeover of London’s Alexandra Palace in November last year. Now into their second year of the <em>Tanzneid World Tour</em>, Electric Callboy have laid down plans for the start of 2027 with the new UK and Europe run.</p>
<p>The arena tour was announced yesterday, and is set to start next January in Dublin, followed by shows in Manchester, Nottingham, Bournemouth and Cardiff, before heading over to mainland Europe. In the post announcing the shows on Instagram, there is dismay over the lack of a Scottish show, with commenters writing the message <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DZm-65ejToA/?hl=en" target="_blank">“No Scotland, no party“</a>. The full tour list is as follows:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<strong>23 – Manchester, Co-op Live</strong><br />
<strong>24 – Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena</strong><br />

<strong>27 – Cardiff, Utilita Arena</strong><br />
<strong>29 –Toulouse, Zénith Toulouse Métropole</strong><br />
<strong>30 – Bordeaux, Arkéa Arena</strong><br />
<strong>31 – Nantes, Zénith Nantes Métropole</strong></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/electric-callboy-announce-new-album-tanzneid-release-new-single-hypercharged/" target="_blank">Their seventh album <em>‘Tanzneid’</em> was announced back in April,</a> with several singles available so far including ‘Elevator Operator’, ‘Tanzneid’, their cover of Sum 41’s ‘Still Waiting’, and April release ‘Hypercharged’. The band put out lively new single ‘Let The Good Times Roll’ and its music video last week, which features pop punk heroes The Offspring, making for an upbeat, bouncy summer anthem. <a href="https://shopuk.electriccallboy.com/" target="_blank">‘<em>Tanzneid</em>’ is out on Century Media on the 7th of August,</a> with the band celebrating it with a huge show at Berlin’s Escalation Fest on the release day.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mysterious masked band PRESIDENT have just announced their debut album ‘<em>Blood Of Your Empire</em>’, set for a December release, with new single ‘Doom Loop’ offering a taste of it.</p>
<p>The British metalcore collective strive to keep their identities tightly under wraps with their masks and stage names, but we know this much – there are four of them. The lead vocalist, known as “The President”, has been long-rumoured to be former Busted and Fightstar singer Charlie Simpson. His distinctive costume of a semi-realistic human face mask and a suit have caught the eye of many during their viral rise on social media, attracting fans to the band in equal measure to their fiery, politician-themed pop-metal singles.</p>
<p>PRESIDENT first broke onto the scene with their unexplained appearance on the billing for 2025’s Download Festival, having no released music to their name. Before the festival, they released one single in May, ‘In the Name of the Father’. The track blew up online, becoming BBC Radio 1’s Tune of the Week immediately. Three singles later, they released their first EP ‘<em>King of Terror</em>’, continuing their meteoric ascent with several high profile festival bookings off the back of it.</p>
<p>With all this happening within a year, The President announced that the debut album was in the works last November. After signing a new label deal with Atlantic Records, the first single ‘Angel Wings’ released in February this year, which laid down more synthesisers and electronic elements over the metal guitars, before second single ‘Mercy’ came out in March, which was a far heavier listening experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://iframewidth=560height=315src=https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/O_yO9c7zSIw?si=W9KdNVKaSXtDikQstitle=YouTubevideoplayerframeborder=0allow=accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-sharereferrerpolicy=strict-origin-when-cross-originallowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/O_yO9c7zSIw?si=W9KdNVKaSXtDikQs" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>‘Doom Loop’ released this afternoon, alongside the name and release date of the album <em>‘Blood Of Your Empire</em>’. The track is a groovy, pulsating alt-rock banger with electronic vibes and strained, emotional vocal hooks. The band say “<a href="https://www.kerrang.com/president-announce-debut-album-blood-of-your-empire-share-new-single-doom-loop" target="_blank">The song is really about the strange tragedy of time — how we spend our lives chasing it, wasting it, and fearing it — only to realise its value once a moment is gone. It&#8217;s a reminder for people to be present while they are actually living their lives, not just remembering them afterwards.</a>”</p>
<p>The painted artwork for ‘<em>Blood Of Your Empire</em>’ is almost as interesting as the music itself, displaying Eugène Delacroix’s 1830 depiction of The Battle of Poitiers from The Hundred Years War. The President goes into detail on the LP, saying “<a href="https://www.kerrang.com/president-announce-debut-album-blood-of-your-empire-share-new-single-doom-loop" target="_blank">Blood Of Your Empire was born out of my own struggle with existential crisis and trying to make sense of belief, mortality, and humanity&#8217;s relationship with faith. Religion has inspired incredible compassion, purpose, and beauty in the world — but it has also been responsible for unimaginable suffering and bloodshed throughout history. This album lives in the tension between those two truths. Writing it became a way for me to confront the fear, confusion, and questions I&#8217;ve carried for years, and turn them into something I&#8217;m truly proud of.</a>”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After leaving Arch Enemy at the end of last year and investing time in new personal projects, Canadian vocalist Alissa White-Gluz has found a new home in British power metal cult heroes DragonForce. Both parties broke the news today, with DragonForce due to perform live shows with the new lineup later this month.</p>
<p>When Alissa White-Gluz first joined Swedish melodic death metal group Arch Enemy in 2014, she was stepping into some big shoes – her predecessor Angela Gossow had raised the bar incredibly high for female death metal vocals. White-Gluz in turn lifted the bar higher, bringing both guttural screams and powerful clean singing in one package, providing the band a new edge to their sound across 11 years and 4 studio albums. Upon leaving Arch Enemy in November last year, White-Gluz directed her attention to her solo efforts under the simple moniker ‘Alissa’, as well as founding all-female group Blue Medusa.</p>
<p>DragonForce meanwhile have continued to release technical power metal albums packed with their frantic guitar noodling since breaking into the mainstream with 2006 hit ‘<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgrCKhxE1s" target="_blank">Through The Fire And Flames</a>’. The song gained cult status, especially following its inclusion as one of the most difficult tracks on 2007 video game <em>‘Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock</em>’, and the 2005 album <em>‘Inhuman Rampage</em>’, of which it was the lead single, has been acclaimed as one of the most important power metal albums by both <a href="https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-10-essential-power-metal-albums" target="_blank">Metal Hammer</a> and <a href="https://loudwire.com/top-power-metal-albums-all-time/" target="_blank">Loudwire</a>. With ‘<em>Inhuman Rampage’</em> marking its 20th anniversary last year, the group have been gearing up to celebrate the milestone in style.</p>

<p>DragonForce announced White-Gluz’s arrival today, posting that they welcome her as “<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DX_-3UfN0j5/" target="_blank">the band’s newest member and first frontwoman</a>”. Both acts have worked together in the past, with Alissa providing guest vocals on a remixed version of DragonForce’s track ‘Burning Heart’ in 2025. She will slot in alongside their continuing lead singer Marc Hudson, her harsh growls and low singing voice complimenting his soaring melodic wails, with the post also revealing she will join them for live duties starting this week. White-Gluz’s tenure with the band begins with US shows at Welcome To Rocksville on Saturday the 9th of May, and Sonic Temple on the 17th.</p>

<p>In a <a href="https://dragonforce.com/2026/05/06/dragonforce-announce-alissa-white-gluz-as-new-vocalist-and-frontwoman/" target="_blank">statement,</a> DragonForce guitarist Herman Li remarked “Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point. 20 years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honour what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.” White-Gluz also added “I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment. It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice and utilise all my singing styles in technically challenging, deeply energising, highly addictive songs.”</p>
<p>DragonForce have confirmed plans for more shows in support of <em>‘Inhuman Rampage’</em>’s 20th birthday, as well as new music to be announced soon. For Alissa White-Gluz, the year is already phenomenally busy – Blue Medusa released debut single ‘<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T21hSKREXGk" target="_blank">Checkmate</a>’ in March, and her first solo album is rumoured to release later this year after she dropped her debut Alissa track ‘<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvnKywEnTZI" target="_blank">The Room Where She Died</a>’ last November.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>US metal act Five Finger Death Punch have revealed the Europe and UK dates for their 20th anniversary world tour, following on from this year’s US leg. The run, starting in January 2027, will have stellar support from Lamb of God and Bleed From Within.</p>
<p>Five Finger Death Punch (FFDP) formed in Las Vegas in 2005, releasing their explosive debut ‘<em>The Way Of The Fist’</em> in 2007. A ferocious, fast-paced blitz of heavy metal with emotional themes, the LP and its lead single ‘The Bleeding’ won the band a large audience almost immediately. Since its release, FFDP have become one of the biggest American bands in the genre, releasing 9 hugely-popular albums and breaking a record on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay Chart for most consecutive number one singles. Last year’s ‘The End feat. Babymetal’ became their 13th chart-topper in a row, their 17th overall, and the first to use Japanese lyrics.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With 20 years passing since their inception, the band announced a massive 48-show US tour two weeks ago, as the first part of a world tour reveal. Today’s set of dates for the UK and Europe was just the second instalment in a bigger list of anniversary celebrations, as founding guitarist Zoltan Bathory says – “<a href="https://www.kerrang.com/five-finger-death-punch-20th-anniversary-world-tour-lamb-of-god-bleed-from-within-manchester-glasgow-dublin-birmingham-london-january-2027" target="_blank">This World Tour is the celebration that milestone deserves. First leg is America in 2026, then Europe in 2027, and we’re not stopping there! South America, Australia, Asia are all in the talks. This is going to be a big two or three years for Five Finger Death Punch, and we’re just getting started.</a>“</p>

The band’s last releases were their 2025 ‘Best Of’ re-recording compilations &#8211; re-tracked and reissued after former label ‘Prospect Park’ sold the master recordings without FFDP’s consent.</p>
<p>Tickets for Five Finger Death Punch’s European Tour go on general sale on Friday the 8th of May at 10AM. <a href="https://fivefingerdeathpunch.com/pages/tour" target="_blank">Check the band’s website for full world tour dates and news. </a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Torquay grassroots metal and hardcore punk festival Burn It Down announced their second of three headliners today – Sydney hardcore mob Speed will be playing an uproarious set in quaint Devon with no stage barriers this September.</p>
<p>Burn It Down is an annual three-day event in the South West, transforming the harbour of Devon seaside resort Torquay into a hub for alternative music fans. The west of England has suffered the loss of many of its live music venues and typically struggles to draw talent to the region, but through initiatives like Burn It Down more international acts than ever visit the so-called “English Riviera” of Torbay. The shows take place across The Foundry, The Attic, and The Apple and Parrot, three of the most important independent bars in Torquay’s nightlife centre. Previous iterations of the fest have welcomed prolific artists ranging from UK hardcore juggernauts Malevolence to breakthrough metalcore starlets Static Dress.</p>

January</a>, featuring the upbeat pop punk of As It Is, the weighty hardcore of TRC, and the rebellious punk of The Meffs. A second wave of bands came at the start of March, revealing the Friday night headliner as US post-hardcore outfit Drug Church, alongside St Albans&#8217; Your Demise, who were trendsetters for British alternative music in the 2000s and 2010s. The organisers also broke the news that the entire set of Friday performances would have no barrier in front of the stage, a key feature in energetic hardcore punk shows that allows fans to be part of the action and stage dive to their heart’s content. Today’s update only brought one band, but that band’s presence has drawn significant attention from beyond the Westcountry. Australia’s Speed have grown to be one of the most talked-about hardcore collectives in the world – their aggressive beatdowns and the unique addition of frontman Jem Siow’s flute trills has forged an identity that sets them apart from the pack. Official debut EP ‘<em>Gang Called Speed</em>’ hit number 5 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA)’s Australian Album Chart, and debut LP ‘<em>Only One Mode</em>’ earned Speed the ARIA Award for Best Hard Rock or Heavy Metal Album in 2024.  </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the build up to new album ‘<em>You Got This</em>’ releasing in April, Welsh “ragga metal” icons Skindred have dropped news of a six-date tour of the UK and Ireland starting in October. Support for the tour changes between dates, with Alien Ant Farm, Spineshank and Orgy playing select shows.</p>
<p>Newport three-piece Skindred burst onto the scene with 2002’s <em>‘Babylon’</em>, an album that married nu metal with rap and reggae to create something wholly their own. Due to their unique sonic fusions and their unmatched stage performances, the band have drawn fans from all manners of backgrounds and become one of the most in-demand alternative live acts in the country. Download Festival have booked them 9 times since 2006 as a foolproof way to guarantee a good party, and their raucous live shows have seen them receive awards and nominations from Kerrang, Metal Hammer, the Heavy Awards and the MOBOs.</p>
<p>Since eighth album ‘<em>Smile</em>’ hit Number 2 in the Official UK Album Chart and Number 1 in the Rock and Metal Chart, the band went on a massive nationwide tour in 2023. They then did even more impressive numbers on their three-night arena run in 2024 – sold out dates at Manchester Academy and O2 Academy Birmingham, and a massive gig at the Wembley OVO Arena. 2025 saw them trade huge crowds for smaller, more intimate venues for a UK tour, followed by one of Germany with Alien Ant Farm.</p>

<p>The ‘You Got This’ Tour was announced today to tear across the UK and Ireland in October and November, including a massive night at London’s Alexandra Palace on Halloween.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With over 30 years in the industry as one of the UK’s top rock bands, Muse have always had a flair for the dramatic. Now the Devon trio appear to be ominously building up to their first music of the year with a little taster video for a track seemingly named ‘Be With You’.</p>
<p>Formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1994, the three-piece of singer-guitarist-pianist Matt Bellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard have been a force in both the British and international rock scene since 2001 breakthrough album ‘<em>Origin Of Symmetry</em>’. After this, their last 7 studio albums have all topped the UK Official Album Charts, they’ve won the BRIT Award for best British Live Act twice, as well as being graced with two Grammys and an Ivor Novello Award. While Muse are undoubtedly brilliant on recording, it is their spectacular live performances that have won them most of their acclaim, leading them to the world’s largest stadiums and festival bills.</p>
<p>Their experimental progressive rock sound has explored electronic and symphonic styles, as well as delving into pop ballads and rock-opera suites. 2022 LP ‘<em>Will Of The People</em>’ was a slightly limp, by-the-books offering, with the band charting already-tested waters for the first time in a while. However their latest single, 2025’s ‘Unravelling’ saw Muse return to the lab, incorporating darker EDM synthesiser cuts and even meddling with “djent”, a progressive metal sound defined by oppressive down-tuned guitar riffs.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following on from last year’s <a href="https://youtu.be/d5K5Gf9OKOc?si=bEixmeVzlzY6rrIr" target="_blank">6-Part Docuseries &#8216;With You’, </a>a glimpse into the band’s relationship with their global fanbase, they released the teaser &#8216;Be With You&#8217; today. Perhaps either a poetic tribute to the supporters who buy millions of Muse albums and tickets every year, or simply a demo of a soon-to-be-released single, the video is certainly open to various interpretations. What is plain is that this is music we haven’t heard yet, and it’s very, very interesting.</p>

<p>The video is beautifully atmospheric throughout its entire 1-minute and 26-second duration, consisting of frontman Matt Bellamy performing what sounds like a hymn at an organ in a magnificent, dimly-lit church. The sermon builds up with his iconic falsetto voice, before ending abruptly with what sounds like a crash of metal guitar blasts and drums. A string of numbers and letters appears on the screen at the end, which fans on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/1rp60z0/comment/o9iowpx/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button" target="_blank">Reddit quickly identified as a nod to the 1977 “Wow! Signal”</a> &#8211; a detection of a radio wave which was considered evidence of extra-terrestrial life. This is likely a stage in an Alternate Reality Game (ARG) allowing fans to solve puzzles to find the inspiration of the album, or uncover more new music.</p>
<p>After their summer run of European festivals last year, Muse currently only have the one US live date scheduled for this year, at Milwaukee’s Summerfest in July. This could all change with the full announcement of new music, as the band have been known to sneakily announce stadium tours with little warning. For further news, <a href="https://www.muse.mu/tour" target="_blank">the band run a mailing list</a> which has given subscribers the drop on news first.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Florida’s Wage War have spent the last two years under attack from fans for adopting a more commercialised sound on their last album, but their new single released today has made an intense statement on their metal credentials. ‘Song Of The Swamp’ arrived to critical acclaim earlier, along with news of its parent EP ‘<em>It Calls Me By Name</em>’, releasing in April.</p>
<p>After forming in 2010 in Ocala, Florida, the band released debut album ‘<em>Blueprints</em>’ in 2015, breaking through off the back of singles ‘The River’ and ‘Twenty One’. The LP was an explosive hit of raw, unrelenting metalcore, shedding all nuance in favour of a direct assault. Their trademark sound was one of monstrously heavy verses leading to huge anthemic choruses. In 2016 the attention it garnered brought them on tour to the UK and Europe supporting heavyweights The Amity Affliction, Northlane and Stray From The Path.</p>
<p><a href="http://iframewidth=560height=315src=https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/IMyv2QJCyt4?si=IiKuPr2herMSIMxMtitle=YouTubevideoplayerframeborder=0allow=accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-sharereferrerpolicy=strict-origin-when-cross-originallowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/IMyv2QJCyt4?si=IiKuPr2herMSIMxM" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a></p>
<p>On each album since 2017’s ‘<em>Deadweight</em>’ their sound mellowed gradually, with electronic elements seeping in, clean vocals becoming more frequent, and the overall polish of the mix becoming so sterile that most of the character was washed away. Following the launch of their fifth and so far last album ‘<em>Stigma</em>’ in 2024, fans were starting to label the band as “Octane-core” – a demeaning label associating them with the more radio-friendly metal music played on US digital station SiriusXM Octane.</p>
<p>With the release of ‘Song Of The Swamp’, they’ve shaken all the taunts away and unleashed something far darker than anything else in their catalogue. The track is ferocious in all the right ways &#8211; harsh vocalist Briton Bond sounds utterly demonic, the bass is earth-shattering, and the pounding drums do not let up. Wage War describe the song as “the tone-setter” for the full EP, saying “’Song Of The Swamp’ is rooted in where we’re from. Driven by Florida and the raw aggression of nature, it’s a heavy track built on tension and hostility.”</p>
<p><a href="http://iframewidth=560height=315src=https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/2EjR1ovTpBc?si=mZ35mnx0yBsQsRv0title=YouTubevideoplayerframeborder=0allow=accelerometer;autoplay;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-sharereferrerpolicy=strict-origin-when-cross-originallowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/2EjR1ovTpBc?si=mZ35mnx0yBsQsRv0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a></p>
<p>If this sets the benchmark for what’s to come, the full 5-song feature is sure to be a serious display of force. The band say “’<em>It Calls Me By Name’</em> is about being drawn to your roots. This isn’t a concept EP but is meant to live in its own world. Five tracks shaped by Florida, the swamp and the relentless aggression of nature. Built heavy, but still driven by the hooks that have defined us. It’s our signature sound amplified and pushed further into metal than we’ve ever taken it.” The EP releases on the 17th of April, with this track listing:</p>
<p><strong>1. Song Of The Swamp</strong><br />
<strong> 2. 4X4</strong><br />
<strong> 3. Blindfold</strong><br />
<strong> 4. Karma</strong><br />
<strong> 5. Purify</strong></p>
<p>The band hit the UK last Autumn on Architect’s headline European run, wrapping up their ‘<em>Stigma</em>’ touring cycle. A further announcement this afternoon revealed US tour dates in support of the EP, running through April and May, with tickets on their <a href="https://wagewarband.com/" target="_blank">web store</a>. ‘Song Of The Swamp’ is available now on <a href="https://wagewar.ffm.to/sots?fbclid=IwY2xjawQMP_lleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBKcHk2OU0yY1FPcHJMelhQc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHqyBrft7J67JJgMxCXDwpRb80Ry5iD4-NKQxE4Lc97iKNa10uZBWjsLVS22z_aem_bh88G9fb4euUMSvb-nTnww" target="_blank">streaming platforms</a>, and ‘<em>It Calls Me By Name</em>’ is available for pre-order through the bands official channels <a href="https://wagewar.ffm.to/icmbn?fbclid=IwY2xjawQMP_tleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBKcHk2OU0yY1FPcHJMelhQc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHu8VLOaAE-pmFFzGRRNqtvXmomZrdcePpSWBAzD3LASdemKvSGEhk_dVy_dI_aem_tc7MJMMtXMZESFo-U6NY5g" target="_blank">here.</a></p>

<p class="western">The event runs from Wednesday the 8th to Saturday the 11th of July, held in a beautifully green setting on Upcote Farm, near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire. Since its inaugural year in 2007, it’s hosted major names from rock, punk, metal and indie, with the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Turnstile, and Coheed and Cambria all playing sets among the trees that gave the festival its name.</p>
<p class="western">From the previous announcement in November, there was already a lot to look forward to. The Wednesday has Canadian punks Pup, as well as British up-and-comers Lake Malice and Split Chain; Thursday has a big headliner in punk veterans Alkaline Trio; Friday’s undercard is topped off with Lambrini Girls and Cancer Bats; and Saturday sees post-hardcore legends Glassjaw return to the UK.</p>

<p class="western">The collection of bands in today&#8217;s haul are in many ways a celebration of British acts coming back from inactivity, with the major players having returned to the fray at some point in the last 10 years. The biggest name of the 2026 reveal is Funeral For A Friend playing 2000Trees for the first time since 2013, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their inception in the process. One of Wales’ most beloved exports, they were at the forefront of the emo movement through the 2000s and 2010s, before calling time on the band in 2016. After reforming for 2 fundraiser concerts in 2019, they’ve decided to keep touring, even following the departure of long-term lead singer Matthew Davies-Kreye in 2023. Now with the exceptional Lucas Woodland of Welsh compatriots Holding Absence on live vocal duties, they’ll be using their only headline show of the year to treat nostalgic fans to their unique brand of emotional post-hardcore.</p>
<p class="western">Marmozets are another British band who came back from a hiatus with new-found drive, having only reformed and started touring again in 2024. Their live shows have always had a reputation for untamed energy, with their high-tempo mathcore earning them slots at Glastonbury, as well as Reading and Leeds festivals. The West Yorkshire unit’s third album and first since 2018, ‘<em>CO.WAR.DICE</em>’ comes out on the 22nd of May, giving fans ample time to learn the new songs.</p>
<p class="western">Rounding the list of comeback kings off is Kingston upon Thames’ Arcane Roots, who separated in 2018 and only released their first single since then just over a week ago. ‘A Wave, Across The Sea’ came out on the 27th of January, a moodily pulsating slow-burner that builds to a thunderous metal climax. Having expanded their line-up from 3 members to 5, they’ll be looking to make their Friday reunion show special indeed.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Other noteworthy announcements include the two-for-one deal of LA punk band The Bronx and their brilliant Mexican-infused side-hustle Mariachi El Bronx, both performing on Thursday, and As Everything Unfolds on Saturday, with the High Wycombe band on a massive rise via their exciting modern rock with a metal tinge.</p>
<p>The poster also has a space marked “headliner TBA” on the bill for Saturday, so keep your eyes peeled for at least one more big name before July. Final release tickets for 2000Trees can be found <a href="https://2000trees.co.uk/tickets" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Burn It Down has become a highlight of the alternative music scene in the Westcountry over recent years, with the novel concept of bringing some of the heaviest touring bands to a quaint seaside resort. Held in Torquay, Devon, it draws acts ranging from rock, hardcore punk, metal and acoustic music to a cluster of independent venues around a scenic harbour. The promoters announced the date of the festival and the first set of artists today, coinciding with the first day of the national Independent Venue Week initiative, which will see hundreds of performances held across the UK in support of our local music businesses. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The first Burn It Down (BID) festival ran in 2018 as a one-day affair at the start of September, following years of independent venues shutting down in Devon’s cities of Exeter and Plymouth. Promoters BYP saw an opportunity to bring a different live music experience to the so-called “English Riviera” of Torbay, a pocket of towns on the Devon coast which is extremely popular with tourists. However, Torbay lacked any kind of indoor arena designed specifically for live music, so the festival was held in partnership with local pubs and nightclubs in Torquay. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The first event was a huge success, drawing attendees from across the UK, and shining a light on up-and-coming British talent in the nation’s underground scenes. In particular, Malevolence, who were one of the top bands on the inaugural bill, have since gone on to become one of the most exciting and popular hardcore bands both in the UK and beyond. Burn It Down continued to build up steam over the following years, before expanding into a two day format in 2022. They also managed to attract bands with higher profiles, such as English rockers Deaf Havana in 2022, and California post-hardcore band Being As An Ocean in 2023. 2025’s edition upped the ante again, adding a third day to work with Bob Vylan during the fallout from their controversial Glastonbury set.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The reveal for 2026 has a lot going on. With no formal headline act shown, BID-debutants As It Is, who label themselves as “transatlantic pop-punk” from Brighton are the first and perhaps biggest name on the poster. London hardcore unit TRC last played the festival in 2021, and will be looking to bring a bit of energy to the pits, alongside Burn It Down regulars Pintglass and Overpower. Two-piece Essex outfit The Meffs will also be bringing a dose of punky liveliness to the Southern coastline. Last on the list is Berlin-based Vianova, whose 2025 genre-bending album ‘<i>Hit It!’ </i>confused and intrigued listeners in equal measure.</span></p>
