Delivering live music that gives you goosebumps

Featuring curated lineup of the best in stoner, doom, and heavy psych. We present to you rising and established acts from across the UK, Europe, and the global underground heavy scene.

Holystone

Brisbane, Australia

Their performances feel less like concerts and more like controlled descents - perfectly suited to late-night rooms and after-hours states of mind.

Stoned Jesus

One of Eastern Europe’s most influential stoner rock bands, known for massive riffs, dynamic songwriting, and cult classics like “I’m the Mountain.”

Dunes

Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Dunes write heavy music with a sense of direction. Their songs move with purpose, pulling you forward through rhythm, tension, and release.

Khan

Melbourne, Australia

Australian trio blending crushing sludge with emotive post-metal and progressive textures, that are cinematic, heavy, and immersive.
