Event information
The most highly regarded artrock band from Austria - BLANK MANUSKRIPT seems to be a musical chamber of wonder – internationally successful with uncompromisingly bizarre rock music, the ensemble gained a unique reputation. This date is one of only four UK gigs this year
Their music is characterized by its sophisticated symphonic arrangements as well as extensive psychedelic improvisations, thus rocking our everyday listening habits. Blank Manuskript creates music paired with mystical-vivid lyrics to transfer its audience into flamboyant musical spheres that have a unique effect on the listeners. Socio-critical escapism unites with creative excellence, creating contemporary programmatic rock music for insiders and seekers, far beyond the inhuman banality of the media-machine.
Support from FORGOTTEN GODS; a new band whose sound brings together elements of Classic Rock, Progressive & Neo Progressive Rock, and even hints of Electronica & Folk. At all times the music strives to be melodic & tells stories or paints audio pictures. Forgotten Gods have already appeared at major UK prog festivals to great acclaim, and their debut album ‘Memories’ was released in October 2024.
Support also from DANDELION CHARM from Newhaven, who blend folk, prog and rock, with a sound reminiscent of the late ’60s and early ’70’s. Think Fleetwood Mac meets Opeth, CSN meets Yes. Intricate harmonies and epic outros tell emotional stories of disfunction, joy and despair.
