CATS in SPACE

New classic rock UK band with more hooks than a crane factory! Touring with legendary rock giants Deep Purple, Status Quo & Thunder playing multiple UK arenas, as well as Hyde Park with Phil Collins and Blondie, the Cats have accumulated an ever growing army of faithful fans, gaining exceptional live reviews along the way. From humble beginnings to Hammersmith Odeon, The London Palladium and the London O2 Arena shows the extent of this orbital journey for these cool Cats so far... The band is formed entirely of musicians with a wealth of experience - both writers and performers, with impressive musical CVs including The Sweet, T’Pau, Ian Gillan, Asia, Robin Trower Band, 10cc, Arena, Moritz, Airrace & Statetrooper, to name but a few. Currently on their outrageous (no1 in Official UK Rock Chart) fifth studio album KICKSTART THE SUN with even more new live dates added to coincide with its release... "Travel back to the heady days of the 1970s when bands like Queen, 10cc, ELO, The Who & Cheap Trick ruled the analogue airwaves and you'll be firmly in the Cats' orbit... " Classic Rock Magazine “CATS in SPACE, for my money, are the best band to emerge since the turn of the millennium.” Sea of Tranquility “A master class in melodic songwriting.” Classic Rock Magazine “A huge cinematic masterpiece, one of the best sounding albums this century.” Powerplay Magazine

Empyre

Planet Rock – “Everything about Empyre’s beguiling music is colossal sounding” Kerrang! - “Empyre … sound slick, vast and like the music was written with the help of an architectural blue print for an arena” BBC Introducing - “No stage is too big for these guys” and “Thunderous rock with one of the meatiest sounds in the UK right now” Rock Today – “Debut album Self Aware – groundbreaking!…it’s a game changer” Empyre perform intense, atmospheric rock, with a dark and introspective edge to their writing. In the words of BBC Introducing their music ranges from “Triumphant, chest beating rock” to more subtle but just as arresting numbers inviting you to do the deepest of soul searching. This is a gritty, lyrically engaging and profound style of rock music you have not heard before. 2018 saw Empyre play HRH Ibiza, and perform sessions for BBC Introducing and the world renowned ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris’ ‘Under The Apple Tree’ sessions, a privilege normally exclusively reserved for country acts. 2019 has seen the release of their debut album ‘Self Aware’, gaining attention from Classic Rock Magazine, Kerrang!, and Planet Rock; heralding them as ‘Ones to Watch’, playlisting their music, announcing them for Winters End 2020 and premiering the video for the song ‘Stone’.

Sweet Electric

Sweet Electric is a rock n' roll band from Cologne, Germany. 'The sound is big dirty guitar riffs, thunderous bass, pounding drums and high wailing vocals all the things you expect from the 70s and 80s but with the energy of the 2020s. Because Rock N Roll is too great to leave this world with the legends of decades gone by. We aren’t here to recreate the wheel, we are here to get that old wheel, strap some turbo boosters to it and get rock n roll back to the front of the race.'
