Eagle & Salmon presents:
The Riviera’s 8:20 pm Up-and-coming indie band who draw inspiration from early Kings of Leon, Oasis and just about everyone in between. They will be performing original material with the odd cover.
The Monamees 9:10 pm Manchester-based indie rockers The Monamees craft intricate chords with thoughtful lyrics. Their music takes a nod to classic British guitar rock-n-roll bands, such as The Who.
Plastic Plant 9:50 pm Plastic Plant are a Manchester-based alt-pop/rock band fusing psychedelia, folk, grunge, and experimental textures. Taking stylistic notes from Pixies, Neil Young, Talk Talk and Ween, their set honours and fuses gone decades of music experimentation into something modern, eclectic, and colourful.
Their debut EP Radiodonta, released earlier in October, collectivises six sonic vignettes spanning time, nature, religion and human progress. From oceanic psychedelia to grunge-tinged introspection, this succinct body of work aims at being both raw and reflective, blending sharp and musing lyricisms with rich harmonies, live and electronic percussion blends, whilst underpinned by determined, serpentine grooves. You can listen to Radiodonta here.

Divided We Fall Tour 2025
Face The Silence Vs The Metronics
England Versus Scotland
Skies Turn Black – Our English competitor for Manchester a Metal band from the North of England whose brand of metal incorporates the elements of Electronic and NWOBHM with an added electronic twist. Always prioritizing a big riff, a blistering solo, and an epic chorus, Skies Turn Black use heavy metal at their core to explore other avenues of the genre that make for a massive live sound. Having included choirs, orchestras, synthesisers, and keytars in their music, Skies Turn Black are ambitious. Taking the stage at Bloodstock 2023, they showed why they had the right to be there, performing to a rammed Jager tent. A band suited for those larger rooms, this was a major step in the right direction, as the band’s momentum continues to build.
The Metronics – Pioneering glibcore and all things glib. Glib GLIB glib… Formed on a multiple mishearing of a word in the far reaches of England, The Metronics are an alt-rock, grunge, mathcore band. Pulling together dualing vocals, powerful riffs, and eerie soundscapes, The Metronics have formed their music into a narrative of loss, heartbreak and strength in the eyes of defeat. Championing their new singer to form a new sound that packs a punch, their new set will be unlike anything you’ve seen before. The Metronics have finished their first full length album which is set to debut in January 2026. Having successfully managed to perform in and around the North of England they are set to break through into larger venues and perform with greater strength, bolder statements and, deeper reflection. Even if you seen them before it’s still the first time, it’s the last time. glib…
Face The Silence – Born from the depths of personal struggle and forged in the fires of Scottish determination, Face The Silence is a hard rock band that transforms pain into power, silence into sound. The band’s origin story is as compelling as their music – formed during frontman and lead songwriter Doug’s father’s cancer battle, the name “Face The Silence” emerged from a pivotal hospital moment. When Doug told his mother he was going to “face the silence” with his unresponsive father, he unknowingly named both his band and his life philosophy. What began as a creative outlet during one of life’s darkest chapters has evolved into a musical mission that resonates with anyone who’s ever had to confront their deepest fears.
Role up role up! Come and see @wokenonsenseband @humongousfungusnoise and @disinfect.band.

Eagle & Salmon presents:
Box Wine 8:20 pm
Four mates bringing massive energy and even bigger riffs.
The Infinite Noise Machine 9:05 pm
Epic, heavy-as-hell, riff-based, blues-rock power-trio. Inspired by Hendrix, Audioslave, Black Sabbath, The Black Keys and more.
Earthworks 9:50 pm
Unashamadly steeped in 90s alt rock with a nod to psychedelica and the odd powerballad, Earthwork’s songs are at times intimate and melodic and then punchy and anthemic thanks to atmospheric guitars, powerful emotive vocals and formidable back line.
