Hardcore night headlined by Demonstration of Power, with Imposter, Exit Life and Violaine, presented by Burning Water and Northern Unrest, strictly 18+.
Demonstration of Power headline The Hope & Ruin on Tuesday 24 November, with Imposter, Exit Life and Violaine on the bill. It's a hardcore night put on by Burning Water and Northern Unrest, and the booking brings together a US act and a local presence on the same bill. The whole thing runs for three and a half hours, from 19:00 to 22:30, so there's plenty of room for each act to get their full set in rather than a rushed run-through.
Demonstration of Power take the top spot, with Imposter, Exit Life and Violaine filling out the rest of the night. Exit Life come over from the US, so they're the visiting act that Northern Unrest have paired with the local names. It's a four-band line-up, which is a fair few for one evening, and the hardcore billing tells you exactly where the night sits: loud, heavy, and built around the energy of the pit rather than a seated crowd.
