Wayward Sons:
A band that need very little introduction of Planet Rock listeners, Wayward Sons are fronted by former Little Angels vocalist (and Planet Rock DJ extraordinaire) Toby Jepson and they’re always a formidable force at concerts. The band have released two critically lauded albums in 'Ghosts Of Yet To Come' and 'The Truth Ain't What It Used To Be', and stormed events including Download Festival, Steelhouse Festival, Winter’s End and Planet Rockstock to name but a few.
Mason Hill:
Fast-ascending Scottish rockers Mason Hill were THE standout band on Stage 2 at Planet Rockstock in 2017 – so much so that they made the rightful leap to the Main Stage a year later. Purveyors of gutsy yet finely honed hard rock, Mason Hill have toured with the likes of Airbourne, Stone Broken, and Dan Reed Network and they were personally cherry-picked by Thunder to support them at the Glasgow SEC Armadillo in May 2021. Expect a phenomenal performance at Planet Rock Live Rocks The Asylum.
Bad Touch:
Another firm favourite at both Planet Rockstock and Winter’s End, Norfolk lads Bad Touch always put on a superb live show and, in frontman Stevie Westwood, they have one of the truly flamboyant characters on the rock scene. Earlier this summer, they released their rather brilliant new album ‘Kiss The Sky’ via Marshall Records, which features the stomping anthem ‘Strut’ and mighty fine cover of The Kiki Dee Band’s ‘I’ve Got The Music In Me’ that, according to the band, oozes “dirt” and “sex.”
Gin Annie:
Hailing from sunny Wolverhampton, Gin Annie serve up a heady music brew of high octane hard rock. Their songs are refreshingly heavy and guitar driven whilst maintaining a melodic vocal style; instantly infectious, hook-laden choruses and classy melodies. Frontman Dave Foster has astonishing pipes at live shows, and the band are always muscular and tight-knit. They’re guaranteed to get Rockstock started in style.
Elles Bailey:
Blessed with a self-professed “super-smoky” voice, phenomenally talented blues/American singer Elles Bailey has toured with the likes of The Kris Barras Band and King King and wowed events like Ramblin’ Man Fair and Nashville’s Americana Fest. Her beguiling single last year, ‘Little Piece of Heaven’, was written with Bobby Wood, & Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys picked up ‘UK Song of the Year’ at the UK Americana Awards, while her record ‘Road I Call Home’ scooped Record of the Year at the UK Blues Awards.
