⚠️THE NIGHT BEFORE UPRISING ANNOUNCEMENT⚠️
🤘 The annual ‘Night Before UPRISING’ returns to the Firebug on Friday 22nd May 2026. The night will be hosted by the DJs of TotalRock with guest DJ slots.
💀 Headlining the evening is none other than Corby’s finest, VIKING SKULL, originally formed in 2002 with Raging Speedhorn members Frank Regan, Darren Smith and Gordon Morrison. The alcohol-fuelled, rock and roll heavyweights like to party and will deliver a set which will span their 23-year career.
👻 Joining VIKING SKULL will be one of UPRISING’s favourites, TRIBE OF GHOSTS, having performed previously at UPRISING 7 in 2024. The band went on to release their highly anticipated debut album, ‘City’, and proceeded to deliver critically acclaimed sets at some of the UK’s prestigious festivals, including Takedown, Bloodstock, and Radar Festival, to name a few.
🧙♂️ Opening the evening are local legends of Leicester, the one and only MAGE, another favourite at UPRISING, for fans of monstrous riffs and huge choruses. The band are back and bigger than ever with a brand new album to promote titled ‘Hymns from the Afterlife’. It’s not UPRISING without MAGE.
Mark your calendars for 22nd May at the Firebug, 🎟️ available NOW in our bio! See you there 🤘
