Mouth Culture – Presented by Slam Dunk & Live Nation

Slam Dunk & Livenation presents - Mouth Culture Fast-rising Leicester trio Mouth Culture closed out 2024 like a band ready to erupt. Their year climaxed with a blistering, sweat-soaked headline show at London’s iconic Underworld and the release of their critically acclaimed EP, Whatever The Weather – a record that cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting names in modern rock. Every stage they hit turned into a riot of energy, crowd chants, and raw emotion. Rolling straight into 2025, the band refused to slow down – dropping a red-hot run of singles including ‘Ratbag’, ‘Regret 101’, ‘Picking Wings Off a Butterfly’, and ‘On & On’. Each track showcased their knack for anthemic hooks and gut-punch honesty, connecting with fans who screamed every word back at them during unforgettable sets at Reading & Leeds Festival and their sold-out UK tour in October. Now, with their highly anticipated debut album set to land next autumn – and a packed touring schedule already on the horizon – 2026 is shaping up to be another watershed year in Mouth Culture’s unstoppable rise.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

Arthur Brown is synonymous with his 1968 hit “Fire” and the Hammond-driven “Crazy World” line-up which spawned it. However, his ‘God of Hellfire’ burned out fast and, in 1970, he returned with a new project: the prog-festival freak-show Kingdom Come followed by a varied solo career. Those initial four band albums, by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown and by Kingdom Come are thrilling, as tend to be Brown’s cameos on other peoples’ projects. Best known for his flamboyant theatrical performances and his powerful, wide- ranging operatic voice. He has been a major influence on a wide range of musicians due to his outstanding vocal ability and wild stage persona and concepts. He is considered a pioneer of shock rock and progressive rock and influential on heavy metal music. He associated with Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Frank Zappa, Hawkwind, Klaus Schultze and Alice Cooper and made a cameo appearance in the cult film “The Committee” and also “Tommy”. His countless collaborations include The Alan Parsons Project, The Stranglers and The Prodigy. His best-known single “Fire” hit number 1 in the UK singles chart and Canada, and a number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The album “The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown” had top ten success on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Polis – A Tribute to The Police

The Police ruled the airwaves from 1978 to 1984 with a staggering 15, top 40 singles and massive worldwide record sales with just 5 albums. Their distinctive bottle blonde look and unique new wave sound, an unlikely fusion of punk rock, reggae, pop and jazz even, caught a post disco UK audience totally by surprise and propelled the band on a meteoric rise to become the world's biggest touring band of the early 80's before a sudden split at the top of their game in 1986.The Fans waited and finally in 2007, their patience was rewarded when The Police reformed for a massive 150 date World Tour but a reunion and new material?........ Sadly No.Enter The Polis........Since recently returning to a "true to the original" 3-piece, The Polis are truly the UK's most authentic Police tribute with venues and Fans alike starting to pay close attention to "Every Move They Make".Performing a "blisteringly authentic" live set of classic Police singles, B-sides and iconic live arrangements, The Polis are here to show why they are one of the UK's "must see" tribute acts in 2026.This is definitely not a carefully choreographed, over-polished set tailored for a "bums on seats" crowd, this is 3 life-long Police fans, artfully celebrating their love of The Police, who'll drag you back to the 70/80s, out of your seats and deliver a sucker punch of raw energy & nostalgia straight to the gut.Roxanne, So Lonely, Message In a Bottle, Don't Stand So Close to Me, Every Little Thing She Does is Magic...
