Icons of Filth
Influential Welsh anarcho-punk band, originally formed in 1979 and well respected for its thought-provoking lyrics and distinctive artwork. Disbanded in 2004 following the unfortunate death of singer Stig, recent years have seen the band resurface with a vengeance to carry the torch and continue to launch their attack on authority.

Horror Vacui (Italy)
Since forming in 2010 these Italian diy vampire punks have been maintaining their antifascist and antisexist credentials whilst perfectly recreating a nostalgic goth/death rock/post punk atmosphere that manages to sound fresh and current.

Doom
Assaulting our eardrums and apathy since the late 80’s with their influential d-beat crust punk hardcore, Doom has continued through the last decades to give punks a fitting soundtrack to the battle against capitalism, religion and fascism.

Cress
Fuse anarcho crust riffing, politically insightful mile-a-minute lyrics and the frantic beat of a drum machine and you have the unique phenomena that is Wigan’s Cress. Abandon greed and consumerism and feel the earth power.

Saturday 30th April 2016 AFTER PARTY
https://www.facebook.com/events/1113127292042678/
Hello Bastards!!
Stepping in to replace Deviated Instinct, who had to cancel due to singer Leggo recovering from throat surgery, these London vegan, straight-edge hardcore hell-raisers are the only band healthy (and sober) enough to carry the torch of punk well into the early hours of tomorrow’s party! Long-time favourites, we’re more than pleased to have them onboard!
https://www.facebook.com/xhellobastardsx/
https://hellobastards.bandcamp.com/
Herida Profunda (Poland)
Based in Poland and one member in UK, these relative crust/grind newcomers have done well for themselves with a self-titled LP in 2013 and a 12” split picture disk with legendary Hellbastard in 2015. Catch them on their UK tour and try not to get tinnitus.

Dysteria
Anti-Humanity Hardcore from Norf London… Dysteria played for us in September last year and woe be those who have been dicking around drinking outside and missed their nasty, dystopian filthcore perfection.

Behind Enemy Lines (Pittsburgh, USA)
Exclusive UK/Europe performance of this well respected anarcho crust band, featuring members of Aus-Rotten and Penance. Since 2000 BEL have been blasting out politically pissed-off attacks on rape culture, animal abuse, religion and capitalism not to mention American domestic and foreign policy and the trail of broken lives it leaves behind it. We are very happy to have them grace this festival especially after vocalist Dave Trenga’s recent health issues.

Visions of War (Belgium)
Formed in 1996 this Belgian crust punk monstrosity has been drinking other supposed crust punk outfits under the table ever since. They have played for South London Scum (and ScumFest collective) before and they never fail to impress with their DIY attitude and spot-on brand of raucous thrashy heavy crust.

Anthrax UK
Formed in Gravesend, Kent, in 1980 early anarcho punkers Anthrax appeared on, amongst others, Crass, Small Wonder and Mortarhate records. Anthrax have remained faithful to their original sound whilst cleverly crafting tirades dealing with alienation, politician’s lies, greed and selfishness, religion, conformity, capitalism.

Liberty
Liberty recorded for the Mortarhate label in the early 80′s, covering all subjects from anarchist left wing ideals, anti-fascism to animal rights and sexism. Liberty reformed in 2005 because the people who care are still angry! The band once again delivers their powerful, societally challenging lyrics with catchy riffs and a heavy, street punk influence!

Hazarder (Balkans/London)
Coming from balkans and nowadays south London and playing a blend of early crust punk and ritual doom metal with anarchermetic lyrics about the timeless and tameless pursuit of individual sovereignty, feral dreams, wilderness, magic, passion, and arduous struggle against his-story… Grab this chance to see them local in space and time whilst priming new drummer (Prisa Mata, guitar.. also from south of river.)
