About this Event

The Dead Reds
Opens 8.00pm - Band 9.00pm to 11.00pm


“The Dead Reds bring the blues kicking and screaming into the modern age. With gritty vocals, filthy fuzz riffs and swampy grooves, this UK outfit channels the spirit of Howling Wolf and turns it up to 11.

New single: Mothers Daughter

Their sound is soulful yet aggressive - slide guitar meets distortion, harmonica wails over thunderous drums and every song sound like it was born in a dive bar and raised in a storm.

The Dead Reds don’t play the blues - they weaponise it. Expect heavy, groove driven and something that feels like a whiskey-fuelled bar fight in slow motion.” (Freak Valley)

The band have extensively performed across the UK supporting bands such as Alabama 3, My Baby and Cam Cole and heavily toured the festival circuit playing Glastonbury Festival, Beautiful Days, Secret Garden Party and many more. They’ve also been recently playing shows around Europe.
