Born Again Concerts

On Sale Now 💧 Boundary-pushing artist @KidBookie returns, intimate and exclusive, joined by ROLLA 13, live at @lowerthirdsoho , next Friday 22 May. 🎟️ @DiceFM Boundary-pushing artist KID BOOKIE returns with the explosive new single “Blame”, featuring Corey Taylor, marking the latest chapter in a fearless new era for the genre-defying artist. Following the cultural impact of his previous single “Rose McGowan” featuring Rose McGowan, Kid Bookie continues to blur the boundaries between music, art, and activism. The track marked McGowan’s first musical collaboration in years and quickly became a talking point across both music and film communities, praised for its raw energy and symbolic weight as two uncompromising voices collided creatively. Now, with “Blame,” Kid Bookie pushes even further into emotional and sonic territory. The track sees him reconnect with long-time collaborator Corey Taylor, the iconic frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour, delivering a searing exploration of accountability, growth, and self-reflection. Their creative partnership spans nearly a decade, but “Blame” represents something deeper: a moment of evolution for both artists as they strip back ego and confront personal truths through music. “Blame” signals the arrival of a newly confident Kid Bookie, an artist fully embracing vulnerability while doubling down on the intensity that has defined his career. It’s raw, emotional, and cathartic: a sonic collision between two artists unafraid to examine themselves in public. The single also sets the stage for Kid Bookie’s forthcoming album, scheduled for release later this year (more on that soon…). The project promises to expand on the fearless experimentation and emotional honesty that has made Kid Bookie one of the most unpredictable voices in alternative music today. With “Blame,” Kid Bookie once again proves that the most powerful art often comes from the most uncomfortable truths — and that his new era is only just beginning. #baconcerts #bornagain #kidbookie #london #onsalenow

Support Added 🤘 Cleveland death metal contenders @200StabWounds with guests @CelestialSanctuaryDeathMetal and newly added @MutagenicHost , live downstairs at @TheDomeLondon , Tuesday 11 August. Get Tickets 🎟️ ba-concerts.com 🔗 200stabwounds.net 200 Stab Wounds return with Manual Manic Procedures, a ferocious sophomore album following their 2021 debut Slave to the Scalpel. Blending old school brutality with a contemporary edge, the record pushes their sound further into groove-laden, melodic heaviness without losing its raw intensity. Praised for their “unpretentious brilliance” and chugging, destructive riffs, the band have built momentum through relentless touring and a growing global fanbase. “You tour and you grow as a band, and as people,” says vocalist Steve Buhl. Written between tours and refined after signing to Metal Blade, the new material reflects that evolution. Led by opening track “Hands of Eternity,” which explores being trapped in your own mind, the album balances crushing riffs with structure and melody. Elsewhere, “Ride the Flatline” draws from real-world disaster, while “Gross Abuse” delivers pure, no-frills death metal brutality. Demoed at Buhl’s home studio and completed collaboratively, the album leans into classic gore themes while sharpening the band’s musical focus. With live videos, sold-out hometown shows and international touring, 200 Stab Wounds continue their rise. Uncompromising and unapologetic, Manual Manic Procedures is crafted for fans of extreme metal in its most visceral form. #baconcerts #bornagain #london #livemusic #200stabwounds
