THE DUNWELLS

The Dunwells

+ special guests

The Dunwells are a successful Leeds based Indie-folk / Americana band with strong vocals, powerful melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Their debut album “Blind Sighted Faith” was released in 2012 following which they have released a further 6 albums/EP’s.

The Dunwells have found favour with audiences across the world having toured extensively in USA, Europe and the UK as well as having supported artists including Mumford and Sons, Tom Jones, Scouting for Girls, Brian Adams and Elbow on UK tours.

They have played some of the most iconic music venues delighting their loyal and global audiences with live shows. They are passionate and prolific singer-songwriters having written material for joint collaborations as well as other high profile up and coming artists.

The Five Hundred

The Five Hundred, a formidable force in the British heavy metal scene, hail from the industrial heartland of Nottingham. Emerging in the early 2010s, the band quickly established themselves with a sound that blends the brutal intensity of metalcore with the intricate ferocity of djent and progressive metal. Their name, a symbol of unity and collective strength, mirrors their tightly knit and powerful musical synergy.

The band's lineup—John Woods -Eley on vocals, Mark Byrne and Paul Doughty on guitars, Andy Crawford on bass, and Kelsey James on drums—unleashes a maelstrom of sound characterized by crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and lyrics that cut deep into the soul. Their debut album, Bleed Red (2018), was a harrowing exploration of personal demons and addiction, laying bare the raw, unflinching struggles of the human condition. This release marked the beginning of their dark descent into the hearts of metal enthusiasts worldwide.

Building on their initial success, The Five Hundred released their second album, A World On Fire (2021), a prophetic narrative set against the backdrop of a climate apocalypse. The album’s relentless energy and poignant themes resonated profoundly, cementing their reputation as visionaries of modern metal. Now, in 2025, The Five Hundred returns with their most ambitious and chilling work yet: Ghost Writer. This third album plunges listeners into a post-apocalyptic urban dystopia, where the remnants of humanity grapple with despair and desolation. The soundscape is both brutal and beautiful, weaving tales of survival and the ghosts of a once-thriving civilization. Each track on Ghost Writer is a chapter in a grim saga, underscored by the band's signature ferocity and technical prowess.

The Five Hundred's relentless pursuit of thematic and musical excellence has made them a standout act, pushing the boundaries of heavy metal. With Ghost Writer, they invite their audience to journey into the darkest corners of a shattered world, proving once again their mastery in crafting epic, evocative soundscapes that linger long after the final note has faded.

Wormrot

Acid Reign

Formed in Harrogate, Yorkshire, in 1985, Acid Reign are one of the most distinctive names in British thrash metal, regularly mentioned in the same breath as Onslaught, Sabbat and Xentrix. From the start they paired furious, precision riffing with a sharp, tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, a combination that quickly won them a devoted underground following. After the early Moshkinstein EP, they delivered debut album The Fear (1989) and its follow-up Obnoxious (1990), and shared stages with the likes of Flotsam and Jetsam and Death Angel before parting ways in 1991.

Fronted throughout by the irrepressible Howard "H" Smith, the band roared back to life in 2015, releasing the comeback single "Plan of the Damned" and headlining the Sophie Lancaster stage at Bloodstock in 2016. The acclaimed The Age of Entitlement (2019) and Daze of the Week (2026) proved this was no nostalgia act, but a band still snarling with speed, wit and venom. Expect a fast, ferocious and gloriously entertaining live show.

A Forest Of Stars

20 years before our age, there is a Gentlemen's Club of A Forest Of Stars, an exclusive brotherhood of Victorian Englishmen who consider themselves representatives of their era, an era as glorious and splendid as it is decadent. This collective finds its musical expression in hypnotic and ghostly Black Metal, expertly streaked with elements of Ambient and Psychedelic.
