ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE
One of the most prolific and experimental bands in history, Acid Mothers Temple are an ultra-psychedelic force to be reckoned with. Touring relentlessly since their conception with a rotating lineup of masters of their craft, the band conjure progressive jams, bathed in synthesizer and drowned in electric guitar. Witness true greatness, and embrace the liberation of cosmic melody, of which this will be THE LOUDEST POSSIBLE IN THE UNIVERSE!
BUBBLEGUM HYPNOSIS
Insistent upon experimentation and improvisation, Bubblegum Hypnosis’ music traverses the sonical landscape, carrying their listeners on an explosive journey of excitement and intensity. Sometimes dirty, sometimes clean; Sometimes reggae, sometimes mean - their music takes influence from a variety of artists, styles and sounds, whilst embodying the anything goes attitude of both prog and psych rock.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
