THE UPGRADE EXPERIMENT: Hole Tripper X Nuns of the Tundra + Buried In Bermuda + Dead Rubber Dolls + Vulture God

WE NEED BANDS Presents:
THE UPGRADE EXPERIMENT
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

This is it. The one. The big one. The biggest one we’ve ever attempted. If we pull this off, it’ll be a massive boost for the local music scene— giving musicians a chance to play one of Bristol’s most prestigious stages.

Can we build a killer lineup of local bands and create enough buzz to move from Room2 > Main Stage?

The GIVEAWAY:
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Our biggest ever event requires an equally huge giveaway! One lucky ticketholder will receive:

🏆 1 X O2 Golden Ticket (pick a show at O2 Academy Bristol and get two free guest spots)*
🏆 Exclusive backstage tour — see where your favourite bands hang out before they hit the stage
🏆 1 x Limited Edition A2 poster signed by every band
🏆 A mountain of band merch (seriously, you might not need new clothes for months!)
✨ Plus some secret musician-only perks we’re keeping under wraps 👀

Buy your ticket before midnight on Wednesday 12th November to be automatically entered into the giveaway!
