Margarita Witch Cult / Longheads /Choir of the sun at The Louisiana
Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Leaders of the new wave of Brummie heavy ‘stadium doom’ born under the diabolical sign of Sabbath and Maiden. Margarita Witch Cult rip through the 70s proto-metal blues riff rulebook with galloping future-classic choruses destined to lodge themselves eternally in your willing mind. This is a shockingly fresh and vital metal force FFO: Green Lung, Uncle Acid, Truckfighters, Orange Goblin, Sleep."

Margarita Witch Cult


Born from the murky industrial depths of Birmingham, UK, Margarita Witch Cult are a sonic force to be reckoned with. Their self-titled debut album is a blistering journey through the realms of classic metal, hard rock, doom, and mind-melting psych—an unrelenting showcase of riff-fuelled ferocity and musical prowess.

Margarita Witch Cult’s live performances are as uncompromising as their recordings. Expect bone-shaking riffs, searing solos, and an atmosphere that lurches between hypnotic groove and chaotic power. On 8th May, The Louisiana will transform into a cauldron of raw energy and sonic chaos, delivering an unholy experience that will leave your ears ringing and your soul thirsting for more.

This is doom. This is heavy. This is Margarita Witch Cult. Don’t miss it.
