Sesh Pests are a high energy local band bringing just the right amount of chaos. Blending gritty guitars, punchy bass lines, and shout along hooks, they turn every gig into a sesh. Equal parts unhinged and electric, Sesh Pests are here for a good time.

Newcastle’s The Sweet Heaps bring together four friends with one mission: turn life’s chaos into anthems you can shout at the top of your lungs. Elestial is a four piece indie rock band with elements of shoegaze, indie-pop and rock.

They're joined by locals The Monty Shambles & Carnivara.

The Pigs return with their hillbilly pop magic — bluegrass, comedy, and high-energy covers of Beyoncé, Farnsy, INXS and more. A wildly fun live show.
