This evening effectively served as an Australian take-over of The Chalk in Brighton, with three exciting bands lined up on the bill. First up were the excellently named Melbourne duo Mannequin Death Squad, who certainly made a lot of noise for a two-piece, and a good noise at that.

Festival Review: Tons Of Rock 2025 Day 4 – Oslo, Norway (28th June 2025)

Festival Review: RADAR Festival Day Two – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester (5th July 2025)
Saturday morning started with a question, who would be the headliner of day two at RADAR Festival 2025?
