Bio:
Known for their chaotic and intense live performances, Asher and Neve, better known as the two-piece punk band Peacelily, blend hard-hitting riffs with politically charged lyrics culminating in a sound that has been described as ‘The bastard child of Sleaford Mods and Royal Blood’ Ultimately, they are a band that need to be seen to be believed. Formed in 2018 under their old name Swine, they cut their teeth on the Cornish and Plymouth alt scene, quickly garnering a tight knit following. Shortly after moving to Bristol, they decided to undergo a rebrand to better reflect their ever-evolving sound. In the past few years, they’ve supported artists such as Turbowolf, Subhumans and Wych Elm, in addition to playing many of Bristol’s best-known venues including The Louisiana, The Fleece, Bristol Beacon and The Exchange. “The Bristol based twosome made enough noise for a four or five piece. The pace relentless, the talent obvious. The room, packed and moshing.” – The Bristol Gig Guide.

Bio:
Echo Den is a Bristol-based dub-reggae band consisting
of Ant Rae, (vocals, drums) Matthew Richards, (keyboards)
Pete Wookey, (bass) and Ian Stewardson (guitar).
Eschewing common conceptions of what dub-reggae
should sound like, Echo Den takes it cue from progressive,
psychedelic and ambient music while never dispensing
with the core elements that keep people on the dance
floor. Propulsive bass, relentless skanks, hypnotic grooves
and soaring vocals.
In 2023, they released a three-track EP called
‘Transmissions From Euclidian Space’.
‘Humanaut’ - their highly anticipated full length release,
was released the following year.
Echo Den have played to packed out venues in Bristol and
beyond including the legendary ‘The Bell Inn’ in Bath and
the hugely popular ‘Shindig Festival’ in Somerset.
Review:
''Dub-wise ambience with more imagination in the musical department than is common in that scene, plus the attitude and honesty you would expect from these disciples of the bassline. A stand-out band in an overcrowded festival field.''
Steve Henwood, Live Music Coordinator at The Bell Inn, Bath

BLOODRITE (Saturday 28th June) OPENER! 4PM!
FFO: Type O Negative, Deep Purple, Joy Division
"Blending heavy, bluesy riffs with gothic keyboards and catchy hooks reminiscent of a 60s hippie-cult turned undead, BloodRite have finally been resurrected to torment an unsuspecting 2024 audience with a sonic wall of fuzz, church organ, and Hammer Horror campiness"
