Dawn of Elysium deserve a special mention for helping us out at very short notice.

We had originally booked Belgian band Your Life on Hold, but the introduction of COVID border restrictions meant they were unable to travel to the UK.

With very little time to find a replacement, Bradford's Dawn of Elysium agreed to step in.

Formed in 2012, the band had already released Time and Tide and Raven, developing a sound built around atmospheric gothic rock, strong melodies and progressive influences.

Despite the late call, they delivered a great set and ensured we were still able to present the full seven-band lineup.

Their willingness to help out under such difficult circumstances was very much appreciated.
