Come As You Are... but preferably dressed up. 👻 = = = = = = = = = = = = = ELVANA - THE WORLD'S FINEST ELVIS FRONTED TRIBUTE TO NIRVANA! From somewhere deep in the bowels of Disgraceland, the King of Rock & Roll steps out of the afterlife, plugs in, and takes the mic for the band that changed the ’90s forever. Elvis fronts Nirvana. No compromise. Just pure, electrified chaos. Blending the swagger of rockabilly with the raw punch of grunge, Elvana rips through Nirvana’s catalogue while smashing it together with the finest moments of Elvis Presley’s legacy. Expect overdriven riffs, hip-shaking grooves, loud guitars, louder screams, and the kind of mash-ups that feel wrong until they feel absolutely perfect. It smells like cheeseburgers and teen spirit, daddy-o. Described as “Bafflingly Brilliant” by The Guardian, “Absolutely f**king epic” by NME, and “The only band worth getting excited about this year” by Vice, Elvana have built a reputation as one of the wildest live experiences on the planet. Even Billy Idol joked that if Elvis were still around, he’d probably be covering Nirvana anyway. Two icons. One stage. Zero rules. If you haven’t seen Elvana yet, you’re missing out. If you have, you already know… and you’re probably checking tour dates right now. Stupid and contagious. In the absolute best way. 🎸🔥👑 AGE RESTRICTION: 14+ Only

Divergent promotions presents by arrangement with Atonal Agency Car Bomb Originally formed on Long Island, New York in 2000, Car Bomb is a band whose style is marked by a highly experimental and extremely aggressive approach to metal. Their unpredictable blend of evolving polyrhythms, shifting tempos, syncopated down-tuned guitars, jazz-influenced drumming, harmonically deconstructive riffing, and dynamic vocals create a sound that is pulverizingly heavy and intensely disorienting. They create music that is fluid and ever changing, and are not afraid of veering off on bold melodic tangents. This unique sound combined with a strong DIY work ethic and a continuously growing fan base has earned them the opportunity to tour with larger acts in the genre. Car Bomb released their debut album Centralia on Relapse Records in 2007, and supported the record on US tours with High on Fire in 2008 and Gojira in

Divergent Promotions presents by arrangement with TKO Ricky Warwick & The Fighting Hearts Ricky Warwick, Thin Lizzy frontman, Black Star Riders founding member, and one of the hardest working men in Rock n Roll, is coming to a stage near you this November! Ricky Warwick is a man who can’t stand still. There’s too much to be done and only 24 hours in every day. His love of performing as a solo artist is palpable, as at home in front of a mic and slinging an acoustic guitar as he is at the epicentre of a bank of Marshalls. The solo albums continue to land with the accuracy of a perfectly flighted arrow. As a solo artist and an esteemed singer/songwriter in his own right, Ricky Warwick has also collaborated with some of the finest musicians on the planet, with Blood Ties featuring Billy Duffy (The Cult), Lita Ford and Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke).
