Popestars (The UK’s Premier Ghost Tribute) + Opensight + Sandness

Prepare for a night of sacrilegious pop hymns and cinematic metal at the hallowed Cart & Horses—the legendary birthplace of Iron Maiden.
Popestars (The UK’s Premier Ghost Tribute)
The original UK chapter of the devil-worshipping ministry, Popestars aren’t your average tribute; they are an immersive experience featuring authentic masks, costumes, and a sound that Devolution Magazine describes as "accidentally a bit heavier like you’d expect Ghost to be."
Founded by the visionary behind "Ghost Con," the band focuses on the fun and theatricality that Ghost has now taken to arenas.
"Fans get to see Ghost’s music live that they can’t necessarily afford or travel to go and see... it’s purely for fun for everyone else to enjoy." — Devolution Magazine
Opensight
Bringing a touch of "Mondo Fiction" to the stage, Opensight infuses heavy music with the intrigue of a spy movie soundtrack. Moshville Times notes they have "the energy and confidence of a well-seasoned band offering something worthy of a world-touring band playing the bigger venues." > "Bold, unconventional, and irresistibly theatrical... something special is lurking in their music." — Metal Gods TV
Sandness
Direct from Italy, this powerhouse trio delivers a heavy dose of 80s Sunset Strip energy. They’ve been hailed as "the epitome of sleaze, cheese, and well, fun" by Distorted Sound Magazine.
"Smooth, melodious rock with a spiky rebellious attitude... a good remedy for anyone suffering with the blues." — Woody’s Rock Reviews
