Awake By Design // Alyris // Hail

Three of the UK underground's finest converge for a night of riffs, melody and pure metal energy.
Headlining are Awake By Design — Bristol/Birmingham-based purveyors of epic, symphonic-tinged melodic metal, known for their soaring choruses and cinematic sound, and for sharing stages with the likes of Apocalyptica, Sonata Arctica and Leaves' Eyes.
Joining them are Alyris, a Taunton-born outfit bringing a nostalgic throwback to early-2000s melodic metal — think Lacuna Coil and Chimaira colliding with Machine Head and Delain — fusing ferocious harsh vocals with soaring melodic hooks.
Rounding out the bill, Hail bring their own brand of heavy, hard-hitting sound to the stage.
Expect a night of powerhouse riffs, huge choruses and pure British metal spirit
