About the event

Lords of Acid


Known for their iconic mix of industrial, electro, and dance music, Lords of Acid has been shaking the foundations of the music world since the early '90s with hits like “Pussy” and “I Sit on Acid.” Their live shows are notorious for their energy, boundary-pushing visuals, and relentless dance grooves.


This tour marks the continuation of a new monumental chapter in the band’s longstanding legacy as former Butcher Babies singer CARLA HARVEY continues her reign as the current “Acid Queen”.

Dead On A Sunday


A phenomenon that transcends traditional categorizations, Dead On A Sunday is the brainchild of vocalist, songwriter, and producer Ross Ryan. The project’s inventive blend of goth-adjacent rock, darkwave, post-punk, and genre-bending alternative has not only captivated audiences across the world, but sparked its own subculture—cementing Dead On A Sunday as one of the most distinctive voices in modern dark music.

Hailing from the shadows of Denver, Colorado, Dead On A Sunday emerged in 2022 with the debut album Strange Days, a cinematic and melancholic journey that showcased Ryan’s versatility and gift for crafting emotionally charged, genre- defying anthems. The project’s sound—equal parts haunting, heartfelt, and atmospheric—immediately resonated with listeners and established the foundation of what would become a rapidly growing cult following.


The band’s popularity surged with a viral moment on TikTok: a video comparing Ryan’s voice on his transformative cover of Blink-182’s “Dammit” to Bob Belcher from Bob’s Burgers. The clip exploded online and inadvertently birthed a new fan- coined genre, Bob-core, which Dead On A Sunday embraced with trademark humor and self-awareness. What began as a meme evolved into a defining part of the band’s identity—an ethos of blending darkness with levity, and sincerity with spectacle.


Dead On A Sunday’s rise continued with the 2024 sophomore album Cold Red Sea, which propelled the band to new heights. Known for their electrifying live performances, they went on to perform multiple sold-out headlining shows across the country. Later that year, the long-anticipated covers album Undercover: Complete was released, earning over 20 million streams and selling out its full vinyl production run.


Now, in 2025, Dead On A Sunday unveils their most ambitious and emotionally charged work to date: the new album In Memoriam. Expanding their sound into darker, more cinematic territory, the record dives into themes of grief, devotion, resurrection, and the beautiful brutality of love. With this release, the band continues to push the boundaries of what alternative goth music can be—building a world that is as dramatic as it is deeply human.


Still fully independent with a relentless DIY spirit, Dead On A Sunday oversees every element of their craft—from writing and recording to visual design, storytelling, and promotion. Their loyal global fanbase, growing discography, and genre-shaping aesthetic have solidified them as a force redefining the landscape of modern alternative music.

Princess Superstar


With two top 20’s under her belt including “Bad Babysitter” and “Perfect Exceeder” (#3 on the UK charts in 2006 and in 2024 back again in the top 40 UK charts, and Billboard Top 10 Dance charts), Princess has recorded 7 astonishing albums and has had numerous collaborations with musical legends such as Armand Van Helden, Moby, Kool Keith, Prince Paul of De La Soul, Chilly Gonzales, DJ Hell, The Prodigy, Arthur Baker (“Planet Rock” with Afrika Baambata and “Blue Monday” with New Order), Stuart Price (Madonna), and more.


Her dance smash “Perfect” was just featured in the #1 movie Saltburn but she has been featured in other hit films too! The iconic “Licky” (now trending on Tiktok!) was featured in two #1 movies; the Judd Apatow film “Get Him to the Greek” and “Hall Pass.” Her collab with The Prodigy “Memphis Belles” was on their #1 hit record “Always Outnumbered never Outgunned.”


Princess was featured rhyming on Grandmaster Flash’s album which also featured Q-Tip, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, and other hip-hop legends. She was even also an early producer/mentor of Lana Del Rey.


Princess has worked in comedy and collaborated with famed comedian Margaret Cho; and she was also featured on Inside Amy Schumer Season 4, rapping on a hilarious skit called “Beautiful.”
