DIRT
HEADLINING HOUR 1
Worldwide debut of
EMPIRE OF SAND
NOTHING BUT REAL
It is a powerful and melodious alternative rock
rock cradled by fusion influences. Formed in 2018
in Paris, their musical style can be compared to
Skunk Anansie, Royal Blood or Far from Alaska.
Their unique universe inspired by manga and
comics takes shape around an avatar, a symbol:
Sakar. Like the 5th member, he embodies duality,
the opposites we found in their eponymous first
album between demons and redemption
A high energy hard rock band that offers something a little
bit different. They take the stage with a genuine gratitude and without the rock star attitude.
They understand their fans because they are the same as their fans. This is the potion that causes any room that they play to become electric. It is a true escape from reality that has NO rival. The beauty is that they realize that they are only a part of the magic potion
GRAVITY MACHINE
Drawing on a vast range of influences and experiences, and drawing in the environment they inhabit, Gravity Machine create an immersive sound that creates a unique emotional space...
SOULJACKER
Soul Jacker are a North Wales based Alternative Rock band with heavy blues, indie, punk and psychedelic influences consisting of Andy Salter, Dan Robson and Damon Robson.
THE HARPS
THE HARPS was founded by the band’s lead singer, Andry Lagiou, in Athens, Greece, featuring ear-catching guitar riffs, bringing along some of Andry’s classical music influences, making that way the perfect marriage, between notes of an ancient time, and the sounds of today.
STEPFORD WIVES
Plenty of bands begin at school, and so did the Stepford Wives, but not in a conventional way: Two ex-students started jamming with a teacher and discovered a mutual love for load blunt music.
With the addition of
Glenn Hughes, The Daisies supercharge their front line
through his rock solid bass grooves and unmatched vocal intensity. As all fans know, the man is a true original, inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, with a rich history of music that features heavy weights like Deep Purple and Black Country Communion as well as a successful solo career. One might say: “They don’t build rockers like him anymore”.
They’ve conducted multiple headline tours throughout Europe, Japan, South & North America and conquered some of the worlds most prestigious festivals such as Download, Wacken, Graspop, Sweden Rock as well as Woodstock Poland, where they played the notable Concert for Peace with a 60-piece orchestra in front of over 300,000 people in 2017. Significantly, they were the first American Rock band welcomed back to Cuba after the embargo was lifted in 2015.
