Empty Accents

The four pieces from Sunderland kick Saturday events off. With the opening slot, the loud and fast-paced set captures the audience's attention from the first second. They get the audience to call and repeat lyrics during their set, and Matty gets into the crowd. You wouldn't have expected this to be their first show with drummer Fin. They keep active throughout their set. Empty Accents perform an amazing set kicking off the second day of Rockmantic!

Ransom

Review coming soon.


Kuro

The electric metal band of the weekend from Glasgow Kuro. The high beat fast-paced band captures the energy of the crowd's attention. With the bass flowing. With the growls of their song, “I Hate You” getting the crowd to clap along while spinning and kicking. Getting the crowd to nod along and move along through their set.



Foxx

Foxx takes to the stage the country heavy rock band which is formed of 5 members captures the crowd's interest, getting the audience clapping along to “I’m Back” The catchy songs and beat get everyone clapping along to its soul-capturing vibes. Its country-heavy feel is a different feeling on tonight's bill but it works well.


Moskito

Moskito comes out there Frank Carter/Punky Rock twist goes hard and the heavy sound gets the packed out room their fast-paced and high-energy set captures the audience with their use of electronic it's a catchy set and just flys by getting the audience to jump up and down and sing along. I can’t wait to see these guys again soon!


This House We Built

This House We Built our main support of the evening starts on stage. Having heard the chatter about this band all day they didn't fail to disappoint. They have fans clapping and singing along within seconds of performing their loud set has everybody moving and dancing throughout their set. It’s a crowd-favorite set!


These Wicked Rivers

And the moment arrives, the final act of Rockmantic Carlisle 2025 has arrived. 


These Wicked Rivers, the five-piece spreads out across the stage. Their fans squeeze across the barrier for the brightly colored set. Of soul-grabbing rifts and perfected tuned notes, the beautifully sounding notes and a mix between the slow and fast songs capture the head-nodding audience. The powerful set is a strong way to end tonight's set at Rockmantic!
