Competing bands TBA

Special Guest Headliner

Absolva – Manchester based hard rockers Absolva have carved out an enviable reputation as one of the hardest working bands around and instantly recognisable, delivering six highly rated studio albums, and attracting critical praise from many sources.

Combining stunning guitar work with ear-worm choruses, they have an unmistakable sound of their own, refusing to be tied to a specific genre. This is a heavy metal band with melodic vocals and hard rock catchiness, singing principally down-to-earth about rolling with the punches, rolling your sleeves up and fighting back.

We also have to stress that this is looking like it’s Absolva’s only Manchester date of 2026. This could be your only opportunity to catch these legends live and for a cheap ticket price as well.
