It’s time.

We’re getting ready to rip the festival season right open with the announcement of our hardcore stage, spearheaded by some of the most vital names in the scene in 2010.

By now, everyone should be well acquainted with Rolo Tomassi – the incendiary Sheffield band who first set the world alight with their riproaring debut “Hysterics” in 2008, before returning this year with the highly acclaimed sophomore album “Cosmology”, co-produced by Diplo. Californian powerhouses in the making Trash Talk will also be playing songs from their brand new album “Eyes and Nines”, while their Belgian compatriots Rise and Fall will also undoubtedly prove to be a potent live act, as they hurtle through their oeuvre of earthshaking metalcore. Devil Sold His Soul will return to the fold after ripping apart the festival in 2009.

Dead Swans will pummel audiences into submission with their incredible hardcore live show, while the UK five piece Your Demise take some time out from recording their new album to slay crowds once more. Add to that the white hot likes of Throats, Hang the Bastard, Chickenhawk, Pay No Respect, Brontide and many more and you have a hardcore lineup quite unlike anything else in any other festival.
