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

The four piece delve deep into the indie legend's back catalogue, performing lengthy shows which please both the casual and devoted fan. The band have gained a dedicated following, all of whom believe that this is the only tribute act to see for the ultimate Smiths experience. Laid have hit the tribute scene with lightning pace, receiving high praise everywhere they play.

Playing all the hits including “Sit Down”, "Come Home", "Ring The Bells", “She’s a Star” and “Laid” they are not to be missed!

More about Sands

Cumbria, England

Sands sits quietly in Cumbria with a charm that doesn't need to shout to get noticed. With no big venues on the list today, the local character speaks for itself through community gatherings and seasonal markets that appear when the weather permits. It is a place where you can walk across the bridge and find whatever fits your mood without needing a plan. Near Here keeps an eye on what pops up so you don't have to waste time searching for something simple in this lovely corner of the north.
