The Ginger Wildheart Band / Ryan Hamilton and the Traitors / Hey! Hello! / The Main Grains / Massive Wagons

The Decline / Fair Do’s
Australian skate-punk combo The Decline are heading over to our somewhat soggier shores for a summer tour. I hope they save some luggage space by leaving the sunscreen at home as they won’t be needing it!
The Decline will play six shows in the UK with Fair Do’s before heading off to Mainland Europe for an extensive run of shows throughout August. The first date coincides with the band launching a Limited Edition 12″ splattered frosted clear vinyl pressing of 2011’s Are You Gonna Eat That? album, through Pee Records.
Dates:
- Jul 29 – Bristol, Exchange
- Jul 30 – Liverpool, Maguire’s Pizza

- Aug 02 – Norwich, Owl Sanctuary
- Aug 03 – Portsmouth, Edge Of The Wedge
- Aug 04 – Manchester, Retro Bar
Sirenia / Tyr / Unleash The Archers / Xaon / Relicseed
Incredible line-up, slew of European dates, one show in the UK. People of London, I hate you. There are more dates to be added, I gather, but I would suspect they’ll be elsewhere in Europe rather than the UK.
Nov 27 – London, United Kingdom @ O2 Academy Islington
The Menzingers / Roger Harvey / Hot Mass
The Hot Mass got in touch to say how excited they are about being picked to open for The Menzingers in a short tour coming up in October. Singer / guitarist, Rhys Jenkins, had this to say:
We’re super excited to announce we’ll be heading out with The Menzingers later this year on their October tour of the UK, this will be our first major tour playing as Hot Mass and we can’t think of a better way to kick things off!
