The Welsh ragga-punk-metallers are back! The mighty Skindred will take to the Main Stage on Friday night. Expect ‘Big Tings’ from these guys, you’ll want to get practicing for the pit now: we hear nobody gets out alive.

Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate’s life for us – it’s none other than Alestorm! They’ll also be playing the Main Stage on Sunday. Look out for the giant rubber duck.

Industrial rockers SKYND write tracks inspired by serial killers, unsolved murders, and all that gory stuff, so if you’re into true crime, these guys’ll be right up your street. Don’t miss them on the Second Stage on Friday.

LA rock outfit Dirty Honey will also take to the Second Stage on Saturday afternoon. The 70’s influenced quartet have supported the likes of Guns ‘N’ Roses and The Who, so get ready for some “new-fashioned” rock ‘n’ roll.

21-year old Kid Brunswick worked with Mike Shinoda on his 2021 record ‘XForever’, which has now racked up millions of Spotify plays. Described by Rock Sound as “a thick mesh of punk attitude and pop sensibility”, we can’t wait to hear these tracks in the Avalanche tent.

Plus, by popular demand, we’ve bumped up As Everything Unfolds and Spiritbox to a bigger stage! We know how many of you asked for this, and we hear you. Catch ’em in the Avalanche tent on Friday and Sunday respectively.
