Amplify Carlisle proudly presents VOLUMES hosting their only UK headline show of the year at The Brickyard, Carlisle. Los Angeles heavyweights Volumes have been shaking stages worldwide since 2010, and they’re bringing the full force of that energy to Carlisle for one night only. Think teeth-rattling djent riffs, disgusting grooves, savage vocals and huge, atmospheric synths – the kind of live mix that hits you in the chest and doesn’t let up.
