San Francisco’s Neutrals play Swansea as the only Welsh date of their first ever UK tour. Supported by local Swansea heroes The Boneless Ones, Swansea hardcore standouts On A Broken Edge and with music from Sicknote DJs.

SUMP are one of Swansea's most mysterious bands. Sounding unlike any other local band, when asked for a description we were simply told:

‘Bon Jovi meets Iron Maiden’

Don't be fooled though. Incredible musicianship, soaring vocals and catchy hooks fit around a heavy yet melodic sound which touches on classic rock, psych, stoner and prog while still maintaining its originality. Not to be missed.

Come one, come all!

“The first EarthBall album I heard took me back in time, its fusion of free jazz sax & NY-style noise placing me nearly 30 years ago in a packed crowd at Camden’s Jazz Café” Stewart Lee
