Returning for its highly anticipated 5th Anniversary to it’s Lincolnshire home at the Showground, Call Of The Wild is certainly bringing an internationally global affair to celebrate this truly phenomenal milestone with five out of the six headline acts jetting in to join us in the celebrations. From it’s humble beginnings, Call Of The Wild is attracting international acts whilst offering unparalleled value for money and an unbeatable array of top-tier talent.
Already announced for the Kilmister Stage are rising Canadian rockers The Commoners headlining Friday and from Finland the King of Glam-Punk and sax, Michael Monroe closing festivities on Sunday night. Upstaged Ltd is absolutely thrilled to announce that Saturdays headliner are the leather clad, disco fuelled Swedish rockers Royal Republic who are sure to ignite the crowd into a frenzy of fist-pumping, hip-swaying, party vibes. Having just completed a very successful UK tour we are sure their high energy, electrifying live show will bring Call Of The Wild to it’s knees. Their latest album ‘LoveCop’ is described by the band as ‘Powerdisco’, we couldn’t think of a better description ourselves.
Joining them as very special guests will be fellow countrymen Bonafide, fronted by the charismatic Pontus Snibb who describe their mission is to ‘play hard rock the way it’s supposed to be played, true to it’s roots in the electric blues and early R&B’.
