Sadly, due to singer Matt Bigland catching Covid-19, Dinosaur Pile-Up have been forced to cancel their PGM performance, but we’re very excited to announce that THE KRIS BARRAS BAND will now be headlining the Saturday night!
Having previously supported the likes of Black Stone Cherry, culminating in a very special show at London’s world-famous Royal Albert Hall, as well as two very special shows in London with The Darkness, and selling out dates in the UK, The Kris Barras Band have gone from strength to strength in the past 18 months.
Their new album Death Valley Paradise has been met with HUGE critical and fan acclaim, and we can’t wait to welcome them to the General Mayhem for what we’re sure will be an epic set.

The Sophie Lancaster Foundation
Sophie Lancaster was a young woman who was murdered for being different. She and her boyfriend were creative, artistic people who dressed in their own unique way. They were attacked by a gang of five boys in a park in Bacup, Lancashire on 11 August 2007. The gang attacked Sophie’s boyfriend first and then turned on her, carrying out a brutal and sustained attack. Sophie remained in hospital for 13 days, before following medical advice, the family agreed to life support being switched off. Sophie died on 24 August 2007; she was just 20 years old.
The Sophie Lancaster Foundation was established as a lasting legacy to a beautiful life cut short by violence. The Foundation’s mission to stamp out prejudice hatred and intolerance everywhere can be summed up in one word – S.O.P.H.I.E.
