All I have to say is I will riot if we don't see Dropkick Murphys and The Rat Queen (Castle Rat) is coming https://youtu.be/S7vMIIVyAf8?si=Tf7ExI-hmUY-KW9k

Hi all! I'm working with a grassroots metal and rock festival in London to help spread the word. I am promoting it as a mystery festival to give people the opportunity to go in blind and discover some great music! I can tell you there are at least 3 bands on the lineup who played Bloodstock this year, so you know it's going to be a great time! 🤘 If you have any questions, fire away!

Edit - a bit more context

I have started a project where I work with grassroots bands/venues etc. to co-promote their gigs as a Mystery Gig. The idea is to hopefully reach people who may not already be following the band but are open to discovering new music in a live setting.

You can of course do a little bit of Googling and find the event with all the details if you want, but that negates the fun of the surprise!

Either way, it's all about getting more people to grassroots gigs and enjoying discovering new music. I don't take a cut of ticket sales; it is purely to help promote independent music.

What are we thinking? who's would we ant to see play? and what dates/month would you like to see it be held?

Obviously we all know Fred Durst and his famous red baseball cap. But I noticed at Download he was wearing this really cool hat which I've not seen before. Apparently he found it just lying about in a portaloo between Avalanche and Apex stage. Really suits him

It was just lying about in a portaloo between Avalanche and Apex stage. Really suits me

Hey everyone,

I left my cap in a portaloo in between Avalanche and Apex stage. When I ran back (missing most of Conjurer 😐) to get it it was gone. I hoped I would see someone with it that day as it is very specific merch that was sold by a Dutch artist when he came to the UK so I presumed not many people would have one, but unfortunately no luck.

I have also been in touch with the lost and found team and had no luck so thought I would ask here.

If anyone picked it up I would love to have it back, it is more sentimental than anything.

Thanks 🖤

Have REN on the Thursday Stage!!!!
