The line-up is locked. The stages are set. The family is gathering.
You’ve seen the headliners, you’ve felt the buzz… now here’s the complete look at what’s waiting for you across four nights of rock, punk, and metal mayhem.
Remember, we just announced a new new location of Thornborough Events, Redhill Road, King's Norton, Birmingham, B38 9EH - just 9 miles from New Street Station, 4 miles from the M42 (both junction 2 & 3) and 3 miles from King's Norton & Northfield train stations. Bigger site, better for everyone.

Lots of surprises to announce in the new year...
🎸 Friday Night
Wrathchild feat Rocky Shades and Gin Annie UK lead the charge, with Eradikator and Elysian.Divide setting the fire before the storm.
⚡ Saturday Night
The Virginmarys and Skarlett Riot close the stages, backed by GypsyPistoleros and the triumphant return of Hell's Addiction.

Fan-voted champions LN and punk legends DIRT BOX DISCO headline, with Anchor Lane and NeonFly proving why they’re must-see acts.
