Fishbone
Fishbone is a band. Fishbone is Red Hot. Starting in Junior High School as part of the bussing program transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts as a means of rectifying racial segregation, Fishbone were breaking stereotypes. This essentially was the spark that started the bands creative and influential drive that would lay the foundation that other bands would follow for decades to follow. Born out of the punk rock scene of Los Angeles, CA, Fishbone came out as a force of songs and live energy leaving bands not wanting to follow them. A feeling that continues today. Signed to Columbia Records in 1984, Fishbone released 4 albums and 3 EPs and toured the world headlining shows, festivals and leaving people stunned and still one of the best shows ever seen. A constant statement that still is used today from fans to artists that shared the stage with them. After years of touring and rotating members, Fishbone in 2025is back to their most solid line up which includes original members, Angelo Moore (vocals/Saxophone), Chris Dowd (Keys/Vocals) rounding it out with John “JS” Williams (Trumpet/Vocals) drummer, Hassan Hurd, Aroyn Davis and the return of Trace “Spacey T” Singleton on guitar. With their last critically and fan acclaimed EP recorded produced by Fat Mike of NOFX that came out on Fat Wreck Chords in 2023, in 2024, Fishbone is getting ready to reclaim their live touring throne, leave the audience wanting more, thinking more, influencing younger bands, and paving the foundation and legacy they have been laying for decades. With their latest single “Racist Piece of Shit” coming out ahead of the 2024 Elections and creating much controversy and praise as Fishbone has done for Decades, they will be following up with their new album, “Stockholm Syndrome” coming in early 2025#FuckRacism

Samia
Each Samia VIP Experience Includes: • One (1) GA ticket to the show • Early access to venue + merch table • Intimate acoustic set and Q&A with Samia Bovine excision, a mysterious phenomenon involving the bloodless surgical removal of cattle organs, serves as the eerie inspiration for the opening track of Samia’s third album, aptly titled Bloodless. Her voice flows through the evocative lyrics with ease, weaving through the gentle strum of a lone acoustic guitar. The quiet intimacy builds into a storm of sound, culminating in Samia’s layered, ethereal harmonies that pierce with a haunting, macabre refrain: “And drained, drained bloodless.” These emptied cattle evoke a grotesque vessel she unwittingly nurtured in an attempt to embody something both untouchable and on display, overflowing with infinite projections and capable of driving an unrelenting pursuit of the unattainable. Through sharp images—Diet Dr. Pepper and Raymond Carver as parallel pursuits of minimalism, white underwear and leeches, a Degas dancer poised at the bannister—Samia examines a paradoxical existence where merit transforms into a calculated act of extraction (“I felt the pea, can I eat it?”). This is just one strand Samia weaves into the intricate tapestry of Bloodless. Her 2020 debut album, The Baby, marked a confessional coming-of-age —an intimate love letter to those sentiments that are most difficult to articulate. In her 2023 album Honey, Samia deepens this exploration of young adulthood, offering a more introspective take as she searches for clarity. These releases, including her 2021 EP Scout, alongside her magnetic live performances, have earned her widespread critical acclaim, over 150 million streams, and a devoted fan base who sing along passionately to every word at sold-out shows. She’s also won over new audiences opening for artists like Maggie Rogers, Lucy Dacus, and Courtney Barnett. “I’ve spent the past two decades unintentionally conflating an abstract idea of men with my understanding of God,” Samia explains. “The person I became in order to impress this imagined figure is inseparable from who I am today. With this album, I’ve tried to confront that head-on.” Bloodless explores her relationship with a fragmented, symbolic version of Men—a patchwork of expectations and imagined standards she tried to meet, which ultimately shaped her sense of self. “I suffer from decision paralysis,” she admits, “where I’ll mentally play out every possible choice and endure the consequences in my head. God and Men provide some aspect of relief here in that they will make choices for you. The great thing about God and my Figment Man is that I decide what either of them wants me to do. So, in this convoluted way, I still get to do what I want, while offloading the responsibility.” Recorded in North Carolina and Minneapolis, Bloodless is a richly layered album that shifts seamlessly from sparse folk to sweeping indie-pop epics. Across these thirteen songs, Samia grapples with the hollow form she once embodied—a vessel that gained value through its own absence, until playing dead became its own form of life. With Bloodless, she endeavors to disinter the self buried beneath these carefullyconstructed personas, ultimately reaching a place of acceptance for her whole, imperfect being.
flipturn
The Burnout Days Pre-Show VIP Experience includes: ● One (1) General Admission OR – Premium Balcony Ticket ● Invitation to pre-show VIP experience with flipturn, including: – Unplugged soundcheck performance of songs not on the setlist (2-3 songs) – Q&A session – Merch bundle, curated by the band – Commemorative VIP laminate – Merchandise shopping prior to doors opening to the public – Early entry into the venue For flipturn, success didn’t arrive overnight. The band, comprised of Dillon Basse (lead vocals, guitar), Tristan Duncan (lead guitar), Mitch Fountain (synth, guitar), Madeline Jarman (bass), and Devon VonBalson (drums), grew steadily with every gig, from college house shows in their home state of Florida to festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits, to national recognition from Jimmy Kimmel Live, ABC News, and The Washington Post – earning the Jacksonville-based band an international reputation as an indie rock powerhouse. By the time flipturn released their debut album, Shadowglow, they’d become genuine road warriors while still in their mid-20s, supporting the record with a nonstop string of tour dates. That dizzying experience inspired the band’s second release, Burnout Days. Caught halfway between 21st century indie rock, New Wave-inspired nostalgia, and rhythmic alt-pop, Burnout Days finds the beauty that exists between five friends, even in times of burnout.

Galvin grew up in an artistic family, his mother a director and his father an actor and sculptor. He was immersed in painting, photography, and ballet from an early age, eventually finding his first musical passion in the drums. While pursuing music, his artistry in other disciplines has not faltered, even lending his own designs to all his music’s cover art, as well as choreographing & dancing for some of his music videos.

They are the voice of a generation learning to embrace their truth, their power, and their higher calling.

nightlife
Dubbed “one of the most exciting bands in the alternative scene right now” by MTV, nightlife tests rock music’s boundaries by weaponizing retrofuturism, golden-era soul, and modern rock sensibilities to make a soulpunk sound that drips with groove, catharsis, and swagger. the band burst onto the alt underground in 2021 with a thesis statement in “new low,” a rose-colored, disco-tinged take on the thick, bottom-heavy post-hardcore popularized by bands like Issues, Sleep Token, and Bad Omens in the late 2010s. every song they’ve released since has sent a shockwave through the rock & r&b communities, seamlessly blending different forms of current r&b and soul into their ever-evolving sound & leading Kerrang! Magazine to call them “one of the artists shaping rock music right now.” The band has quickly built a reputation as a show-stopping live act, bringing their unique approach to tours with the likes of Rain City Drive, Outline in Color, FOXCULT, and more. powered by guitarists Julian Lofton (he/him) & Dan Macon’s (he/him) fluid basslines and drummer Isaiah Walker’s (he/him) pocket-based beats, nightlife’s rhythmic backbone meets vocalist Hansel Romero’s (they/them) dynamic style and experimental production to create music that feels alive – that scratches an itch only nightlife can.
