Tragedy: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees & Beyond

On Friday 24th July, New York City's Tragedy brings the headbangin' bootyshakin' good times back to The Brickyard in Carlisle city! Tragedy takes disco, soft-rock and pop classics, and completely reimagines them as glorious, red-hot heavy metal. Sure to put a smile on your face and your fist in the air. “Tragedy rocks sweet balls and can do no wrong! They are great fun!” – Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden “An undisputed smash at festivals everywhere, Tragedy are undeniably entertaining in the flesh; their heavy metal reworkings of pop and disco hits so well executed that resistance is generally useless.” - Blabbermouth
