All proceeds from tickets, merch and bar takings from Rock City, Rescue Rooms, and The Bodega are donated to the charity Framework.

Bag searches will take place during the day at all venues, so please leave yourself plenty of time to allow for this when entering as we’d hate for you to miss any of the brilliant bands on offer! Please note that you will not be permitted access to the event with a large rucksack or holdall. We would encourage people to leave bags at home, but if you need to bring one please make sure it is smaller than A4.

All of our venues are 14+ except for The Bodega and Rescue Rooms Bar, which are 18+ all day.
