This July 18th - get ready for the Ska-Punk Double Header Extravaganza that you've all been waiting for! Random Hand and Sonic Boom Six are joining forces for a bunch of co-headline shows across 2026. Two of the UK's most incendiary punk bands are teaming up once again for a handful of special dates, bringing their trademark collisions of ska, metal and rap to a stage near you. Expect dancefloor chaos, fist-pumping anthems and some very special collabs as these old friends take the stage together once again. With support from Local Genre-Smashers 'LICKSHOT'! RANDOM HAND // @randomhanduk Emerging from the vibrant music scene of West Yorkshire in 2006, Random Hand quickly carved a niche for themselves by blending ska punk with elements of metal and hardcore, a fusion that not only showcased their eclectic influences but also resonated with fans seeking something fresh and exhilarating. Their explosive live performances, marked by an infectious energy and a commitment to engaging their audience, helped them gain a loyal following as they relentlessly toured the UK and beyond. https://www.randomhand.co.uk/ SONIC BOOM SIX // @sonicboomsix Sonic Boom Six (often shortened to SB6) are a five-piece band from Manchester, United Kingdom. Their eclectic sound combines different elements of several genres and has been described by Kerrang! as "taking ska, pop, grime, dubstep, punk and metal apart, then rebuilding them as a hyperactive hybrid". Their lyrics tend to focus on social commentary with a live show known for "clashing activism and good times". The band's influences include Bad Brains, Public Enemy, The Fugees, The Specials, The Streets, and The Clash. https://www.sonicboomsix.co.uk/ LICKSHOT // @LickshotUK Nu-Metal/ Ska/ Punk/ Hip-Hop/ Grime/ Dub/ Drum and Bass Four mates from the heart of Gloucestershire playing a fusion blend of the music from their youth.
