Liverpool’s own sextet, Red Rum Club, continue their meteoric rise both nationally and internationally with their unique sound described as “Mariachi Merseybeat.”

2025 has already been a landmark year for the band, featuring:

• UK arena and European tours supporting The Wombats

• Festival appearances at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Tramlines, and YNOT

• Their biggest hometown headline show at Aintree Racecourse to a crowd of 11,000 fans

This autumn marks another major milestone with the release of their fifth studio album, “BUCK” (Modern Sky UK, Avenue A USA) on 5th September. The album promises “a rebellious, high-energy evolution that shatters expectations and redefines their sound”—and is tipped to break into the UK Top 5 charts!

As always, live performance is the lifeblood of Red Rum Club. Following their UK headline tour, they’ll embark on their largest North American tour yet, alongside The Wombats.

DOOMSDAY SUN headline the venue with support from ATARKA and A THOUSAND CUTS.

THE MOUSE OUTFIT is the DJ and MC setup from Manchester’s renowned hip hop collective The Mouse Outfit. Centered around producer and DJ Chini, the Soundsystem delivers a high-energy blend of jazz-influenced boom bap, heavy grooves and party-focused hip hop selections. On the mic, rappers KOJ and Ayite bring sharp lyricism, crowd interaction and raw cypher energy, turning each show into a live hip hop session.

Over the past decade, The Mouse Outfit have helped shape the sound of UK hip hop, working with more than 85 musicians, producers and vocalists while staying fully independent and rooted in DIY culture. They have self-released three studio albums and a remix album, building a dedicated global fanbase and racking up millions of plays and views across streaming platforms.

Their debut album Escape Music (2013) shone a light on Manchester’s grassroots scene, earning UK Hip Hop Album of the Year from Wordplay Magazine and leading to appearances at major festivals across Europe and beyond. Follow up projects Step Steadier (2015) and Jagged Tooth Crook (2018) expanded their sound and collaborator network, featuring artists such as IAMDDB and production from Chini, Pitch 92, Metrodome and Deese.

Now back on tour in Soundsystem mode, Chini, KOJ and Ayite present a stripped back, hard hitting version of The Mouse Outfit experience. Expect tight DJ selections from Chini, live vocals from Koj and Ayite and a show that joins the dots between classic boom bap, modern UK rap and the grassroots energy of Manchester hip hop.

MADBALL | THE UNDERGROUND

Performing live in Stoke-on-Trent after a 30-year absence - sh*t is about to get real with MADBALL, the tightest, most dialled New York Hardcore crew led by its charismatic singer Freddy 'Madball' Cricien, the 'Can't Stop, Won't Stop' human bouncy ball of energy and one of the hardest-working frontmen in rock music in general.

With many decades of playing to hardcore crowds worldwide, there is zero doubt about MADBALL's authenticity, relentless drive and energy, infectious passion, and superb know-how. All or Nothing, Set it Off, New York City, Nuestra Familia, Rev Up, For the Cause, Doc Marten Stomp... are some of the timeless NY/HC hit pieces the band is bringing to Stoke.

With support from BORN FROM PAIN, LAST WISHES, and TEMPERS FRAY, on their Rebellion '26 UK tour, this is not a simulation, and there are no soulless AI algorithms at play here; this is humanity in its raw form: love, sweat, passion, emotion, and high-octane energy. Perfect days are here, now. Hardcore lives. Carpe diem.
