Random Hand have been a jewel in the crown of UK punk and ska for 20 glorious years. Their anthemic back catalogue, incendiary live show, DIY ethic, and passion for their fans, has seen them propelled past their peers to become a name synonymous with the fire, positivity, progress, and power of UK punk and ska.

Support comes from The Mighty Vipers
+Nottingham band CHEAP DIRTY HORSE 

Mighty Vipers are a nine-piece party machine from the north of England, spanning from Barnsley to Shrewsbury. A composite of brass band culture mixed with the protest activism of punk rock, driven forward with a reggae-inspired groove.

Like a steamroller of sound; smashing you round the face with a wet kipper their live show is where they’re suited best, creating a unified sea of sweat, smiles and celebration onstage and off. It’s that infectious energy that has seen the band perform on stages at Boomtown Fair, Beathearder, LOOPFEST, Balter Festival, Camp Bestival and four tours across Europe.

“Mighty Vipers are a great take on all the bits of the ska story from Rocksteady and Calypso to Punk Ska. Also great lyrics and melodies” – Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music
