High Desert Queen + XII Boar + Riteoff

Their music is a journey into the open roads from the badlands of Big Bend to Joshua Tree, with no speed limit or second chance.
Hailing from Austin, TX, High Desert Queen brings the Texas heat to wherever they play. Known for their super high energy live show and massive “Texas sized” riffs, HDQ has been doing more than turning heads, they have been making them move.
After recording their sophomore album “Palm Reader” live in the studio in order to capture their raw sound and groove, these road warriors will be looking to make their presence known at a venue or festival near you. Keep your ear to the road, you will not want to miss your chance to see this band live.

Supporting them on the night will be
XII Boar
Forged in the grit and groove of the UK underground, XII Boar are a no-nonsense wrecking crew from Aldershot. The trio conjure up a greasy mix of stoner rock groove, fuzz-drenched riffs, thunderous rhythms and a swagger that hits like a sledgehammer.
From packed club shows to standout appearances at Bloodstock and Desertfest, as well as high-profile support slots; XII Boar have established themselves as a force to be reckoned in the UK scene; always bringing a wild energy and a party-ready vibe that makes every stage their own
Expect good times, big hooks, bigger riffs, and a relentless drive that keeps the party going and the crowds moving. No pretence, no overthinking—just XII Boar doing what they do best: making a glorious racket and dragging everyone along for the ride.
Riteoff
​Emerging from the South UK, RITEOFF is a sonic collision of desert-session fuzz and the raw, cynical heart of 90s grunge.
​RITEOFF bridges the gap between the low-tuned riffs of Stoner Rock and the jagged, melodic angst of Grunge.
​Having played gigs across the South Coast, RITEOFF has shared the stage with members of Queens of the Stone Age and Kyuss, to name a few.
