“Flamboyant and theatrical rock music that oozes panache…” — Kerrang! Radio

Supporting Chris will be

Kingsfoil

Kingsfoil are Soul Shaking Vocals on top of Blood Fizzing Rock Riffs ripped to the Pulsating Grooves of a Funk Infusion.

Anthemic lyrical hooks are delicately weaved into mesmeric melodies punctuated by powerful, roared statements. Inspired by legends such as Thin Lizzy, Free, Incubus and Alter Bridge.

Formed towards the end of 2019, KINGSFOIL performed their very first show on the final weekend before the world stopped for the pandemic. After weathering the storm, re-forming their lineup and shaking off the cobwebs, they were back on stage, headlining Poole’s major showcase, Live & Unheard at The Lighthouse, in September 2021.

This led to supporting Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy), Nick Olivieri (Queens Of The Stone Age) and Gnome before they got in the studio in early 2023 to record their debut EP. Shortly thereafter they supported up-and-coming alt- rockers Skinny Knowledge, as well as prog metal band Giant Walker – the same night as they released their debut single, ‘Warriors’. ♫♪♪
