Fell Out Boy + Stiff Bizkit + Dookie

Fell Out Boy, Stiff Bizkit and Dookie are all on the same bill at The Sugarmill on Saturday 19 December, a triple tribute night that puts pop-punk and nu metal on the same stage. It's billed as the biggest emo vs nu metal night the venue has put on, and the line-up makes that clear: a Fall Out Boy tribute, a Limp Bizkit tribute, and a Green Day tribute, all in one evening.

Fell Out Boy takes the pop-punk side of things, running through a full set of Fall Out Boy's hits. It starts with the early stuff like 'Sugar, We're Going Down' and 'Thanks For The Memories', and carries on through to 'The Phoenix', 'Alone Together' and 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark'. If you've followed the band from the mid-2000s through to their later years, that's a good chunk of their catalogue covered in one go.

Stiff Bizkit takes the nu metal half, billed as the world's number one Limp Bizkit tribute act. And then there's Dookie, a Green Day tribute band, which brings the pop-punk back around again. Between the three of them, you've got the big hooks of Fall Out Boy, the rap-metal of Limp Bizkit and the bratty punk of Green Day, so the night jumps between a few different eras and sounds.

The Sugarmill is in the heart of Hanley's Cultural Quarter on Brunswick Street, and it's been a staple of Stoke's live music scene since the mid-1990s. It built its name on booking emerging talent alongside established acts and played a part in the early careers of several artists who went on to international success. Doors open at 19:00, and tickets are £23.50 including fees.
