Madball - Rebellion Tour

Performing in Sunderland for the FIRST TIME EVER – sh*t is about to get real with MADBALL, the tightest, most dialled New York Hardcore crew led by its charismatic singer Freddy 'Madball' Cricien, a human bouncy ball of energy and one of the hardest-working frontmen in rock music in general.

With many decades of playing to hardcore crowds worldwide, there is zero doubt about MADBALL's authenticity, relentless drive and energy, infectious passion, and superb know-how. All or Nothing, Set it Off, New York City, Nuestra Familia, Rev Up, For the Cause, Doc Marten Stomp... are some of the timeless NY/HC hit pieces the band 'Can't Stop, Won't Stop' bringing to Sunderland.

With support from BORN FROM PAIN + LAST WISHES + TEMPERS FRAY, on their Rebellion 2026 UK tour, this is not a simulation, and there are no soulless AI algorithms at play here; this is humanity in its raw form: love, sweat, passion, emotion, and high-octane energy. Perfect days are here, now. Hardcore lives. Carpe diem.
