Blakfish
What do you expect to see on the rider for the night?
"On arrival at the venue: Tea and coffee, and snacks sufficient for six people. After sound check: A hot meal for six people, vegetarian meals are not necessary but are adequate. Alongside that we want 48 cans of premium beer, 1 bottle of premium vodka, some soft drinks, snacks, bottles of water (x8), towels (x4) a cucumber wrapped in tinfoil and an assortment of Vans merchandise." (Wiz, drummer)

Kids In Glass Houses
What do you NOT expect to see on the rider for the night?
"A bar mitzvah, an american football helmet filled with tiny little live ponies and Whitney Houston's singing talent. There's no sign of that anywhere." (Aled Phillips, vocals)

Attack! Attack!
What should punters expect to see from your set?
"You can expect energy, passion, enthusiasm and sweat. When we get on stage we just lose ourselves in the moment, we try and get the crowd to do the same." (Neil Starr, vocals)

Fightstar
What should fans do to prepare themselves for what they will see on the night?
"Do some stretching and limbering up, especially if you’re planning on braving the mosh pit! And bring enough cash to buy a new t-shirt as the one you’re wearing will get drenched in blood, sweat and tears, that’s if you’re still wearing it by the end of the show of course!" (Dan Haigh, bass)

Funeral For A Friend
How will the show end?
"The show will end with a rapturous reception, wet eyes and wet gussets. If that doesn't sound like a good night out then I don't know what does!" (Ryan Richards, drummer)
