CONFYDE
...is a shapeshifting alternative rock project which has been tearing up and down the UK in 2025...combining the soaring melody of ALTER BRIDGE, the ambitious electicism of PORCUPINE TREE and the frantic intensity of SYSTEM OF A DOWN, they've been starting mosh pits and breaking hearts with songs from the brutally raw yet daringly creative "A COWARD'S STITCHES" EP. From the wildly successful launch show in February, to support slots with the likes of BLACK SPIDERS, GIANT WALKER and COLLAPSE THE SKY, their emotional rollercoaster of a live show has taken them into the RED ROOMS here at home and headline slots at NORTHANTS ROCKS festival's Oakley Stage and ROCKIN THE BOWL's official warm up party. What other way to celebrate than with a close-knit show here in Nottingham, where they will be performing some brand new material and maybe pulling out some surprises...
Support comes from some amazing alternative acts:
STAINED GLASS
...are Sheffield's latest offering of heavy music and pioneers of Third Wave, a new space wherein grunge, shoegaze and hardcore co-exist and grow together. Formed in 2023, they take influence from acts like Pixies and Nirvana and translate the resonant, raw grunge values and adapt it sonically to the modern heavy sounds. Combining roaring vocals with intricate, face-melting guitar parts and stomping, powerful breakdowns to create one united wall of sound the heavy music scene is not safe at all. The live setting is where Stained Glass are at their best. Their sets are loud, riotous yet executed perfectly. The essence of pre-naughties shoegaze lives on and the big wall-of-sound aesthetic has returned, now a part of the Third Wave.
SILKRATS
Born in the heart of Nottingham’s gritty live scene, Silkrats fuse the swagger of ’70s anthemic rock with the angst and edge of ’90s alternative. Their sound is raw yet melodic — a collision of stadium-sized riffs, defiant lyrics, and a pulse that hits like thunder.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Pearl Jam. Silkrats channel the timeless energy of rock’s golden age through a modern, hard-bitten lens. Their songs burn with emotion — stories of struggle, escape, and resilience wrapped in roaring guitars and unshakable hooks.
Formed out of a shared love for the power and honesty of rock music, Silkrats have quickly built a reputation for high-octane live shows that turn every crowd into part of the performance. With one foot in the past and both hands pushing toward the future, they’re proving that the spirit of rock ’n’ roll is alive, loud, and louder than ever.
JIMI STRANGE
A chaotic blend of high energy Punk, Grunge, Rock and Metal, chuggy Blues, and melodic, bittersweet Country and Folk. Jimi is known for his powerful vocals, percussive guitar playing, clever, bittersweet lyrics, and catchy hooks. You're in for a treat.
