Headlined by DIRTY GEAR. DIRTYGEAR is what happens when the Ramones get drunk with The Strokes circa 2001, and wake up in a world that’s gone soft. At just 19 years old, this fresh-out-the-gate four-piece is loud, sharp, and unapologetically pissed off—with the songs (and sneer) to prove it.

Born out of boredom, frustration, and the raw need to be heard, DIRTYGEAR is the sound of youth reclaiming indie rock with punk teeth. No gloss, no filters—just jagged riffs, pounding drums, and lyrics that call it like it is. Their debut shows are already leaving a mark: they’ve sold out The Six Six in Cambridge and are stacking up high-profile support slots like they’ve been at this for years.

This isn’t a band waiting to be discovered. They’ve arrived, boots on, amps cranked, and middle fingers raised to the status quo. They’re not here to play nice—they’re here to make noise, wake people up, and drag indie back from the dead—with punk as its pissed-off sidekick.

DIRTYGEAR is more than a band. They’re a movement in the making.

Support from MODERN SYNDICATE. Formed in London's greatest quadrant (South East, of course), Modern Syndicate blend the jangle and riffage of the 60s British Invasion with a backbeat born of punk and indie rock. Their songs are lyrically acerbic, sarcastic and on the odd occasion witty, all backed by an unrelenting rhythm section. For groovers and po-goers alike. Long Live the Syndicate!
