For the 1st time ever we're able to bring to SOS
Festival the founder-member & original singer of the absolutely
legendary AC/DC........
Mr Dave Evans. Dave was predecessor to Bon Scott & following his time
with AC/DC went on to star in his own bands & solo work, touring
Australia, Europe & the United States. In April 2009 his incredible
"Judgement Day" album had its' UK release & both that year & in 2011,
Dave toured with his UK Badasses. On the more recent of those tours
the UK Badasses comprised members of Manchester's own Absolva & it's
Chris Appleton, Martin McNee, Tom Atkinson & Dan Bate who again will
be hitting the stage with Dave at SOS Festival. Expect an explosive
performance including Dave's original material but also a handsome
collection of AC/DC songs from Dave's era with the band & also that of
Bon Scott.
After a hiatus enforced by the departure of lead
guitarist Will Reece, Babylon Fire have come back on the UK metal scene with
an inspired vengeance with a debut full length album called "Dark Horizons"
which was released on Rocksector Records in November 2012. That album has
received genuine critical acclaim, prompting valid comparisons with collosal
metal artists such as Stone Sour, Machine Head & Five Finger Death Punch.
Babylon Fire played SOS in the festival's early years & now return as
genuine headliners, armed with a modern metal album locked & loaded like an
exocet missile. Now a 4-piece band, Rish Mehta, Ryk Swillo, Mark Dunford &
Mark Cooper are armed & extremely ready.
X-UFO
feature of course former members of rock legends UFO - Laurence
Archer, Danny Peyronel & Clive Edwards, together with Rocky Newton
from Michael Schenker Group. These guys breathe new life into the
classic UFO repertoire & between them have played with some of the
biggest names in the business - Phil Lynott, Heavy Metal Kids, Pat
Travers, Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker & more.
2013
will be the 2nd successive year at SOS for Triaxis who have taken the
metal scene by storm during recent months following the release of
their highly-acclaimed 2nd album "Rage & Retribution". With previous
appearances at Bloodstock Open Air & Hammerfest, plus a 2nd Hammerfest
show & Wizzfest in Belgium in 2013, the band is no stranger to the
festival circuit & the SOS audience should be ready for yet more
blistering metal riffage & outstanding vocals.
Exit
State are regulars at SOS Festival & all seeing them previously will
testify to high energy, captivating performances. This will be a
special time this year for the band who will be armed with a brand new
3rd album which we know will project Exit State to another level. With
previous multiple videos appearing on Kerrang TV including a no.1 slot
on the request show, plus a tour in 2012 with legendary former-UFO &
Scorpions guiarist Michael Schenker, the band is primed for more
success in 2013.
Bull
Riff Stampede, based in the South West of England, will be bringing a
real edge to SOS Festival, with sheer power & aggression plus the same
exuberance which saw them deliver a widely-praised performance at
Bloodstock Open Air last year. 2013 looks bright as the band looks
forward to promoting their "Scatter The Ground" album, will be playing Wacken Open Air & we'll
of course be extremely happy to
welcome them to our metal day at SOS Festival also. 
Incassum
released their debut full length album on Rocksector in November 2012 &
re-iterated what many of us already knew - this technical & progressive
melodic death metal band is of the highest order. With one of the very
best female growlers in the business at the front, who also happens to
sing clean vocals with equal skill, Incassum are an exciting live act.
Welcome back to SOS!
