PARADISE LOST ANNOUNCED AS UPRISING FESTIVAL ‘VOL 6’ HEADLINERS

Having made their maiden UPRISING voyage, back in 2016, Uprising returns this coming April, and share exciting news of our first confirmed bookings for 2023! 

Uprising Festival will be raising the bar next year, with a selection of American, EU and UK artists, who will grace our stages this coming April 29th in the O2 Academy, Leicester. 

First up, we are delighted to confirm Gothic-Doom pioneers, PARADISE LOST, who will be headlining Uprising Vol 6, in true gloom-laden glory. Would you expect anything less? 

With a rich discography of genre-defining music, punters can expect a setlist of bonafide classics, encapsulation close to 35 years of Death-Doom brilliance.

Check out the crushing single/video, ‘Darker Thoughts’, taken from the band’s 2020 ‘Obsidian’ release, below

Greg Macintosh commented on their forthcoming UPRISING debut: “When we play Uprising festival in Leicester next April, it will have been well over a year since we last played a show in the UK. Come along and help make it a good one.”

Joining PL, is none other than American/Norwegian industrial-core force, COMBICHRIST, whose punishing metallic anthems will, no doubt, blow the roof off the O2. Having built a reputation for breathtaking live shows, that explode with relentless energy, the Floridian crew, (led by the master of ceremonies, Norwegian born, Andy LaPlegua), will lead you through, what they have promised to be, an “old school show” featuring bangers from deep into the bands impressive back catalogue, as well as tracks from their recent, ‘Heads Off’ EP. 

In addition to the two top billings, we are equally excited to confirm atmospheric Caledonian Folk Metal collective, SAOR to the bill. Expect captivating anthems that will take you on a journey through Black Metal fused with heavy Pagan/Celtic influences. PALM READER, prog-infused stoner/doom band BOSS KELOID, Former GHOST members, PRIEST and Metalcore collective, INTERNAL CONFLICT have all been announced.

And if that wasn’t enough the mighty BLOOD OATH and rising progressive Middle Eastern/ London Doom crew, LOWEN complete the first draft of bands for ‘UPRISING 6’. Already, this promises to be an incredible festival.
