Black Spiders
Entry Requirements: over 14s (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)
Since 2008 Black Spiders have continued to make a loud and compelling case for heavy guitar music, from the sin city streets, revelling in the glories of the genre, its sacred lore, with a top-shelf collection of riffs, a sly dash of humour, plus an iconic logo that sits alongside the best.
This cocktail of heavy music, with a punk attitude, is something fans have come to savour. Four studio albums in (the latest release in 2023 - ‘Can’t Die, Won’t Die’ via Spinefarm) and another to come in 2025.
In support of their studio albums (the most recent of which hit the No. 7 spot on the UK Independent Albums chart ), plus a fistful of EPs, Black Spiders have toured with a variety of rock’s most riff-hungry sons, the likes of Volbeat, Danzig, Airbourne and Monster Magnet, and appeared at all of the UK’s leading festivals, including Download, Sonisphere and Bloodstock.
Noted for their unswerving dedication to the music, the middle finger (or two) and the rousing rock ‘n’ roll slogan (“EAT THUNDER, SHIT LIGHTNING!”), the Spiders are the perfect low-slung machine to raise a glass or clench a tattooed fist to.
“We were on such a high after the release of the ‘Black Spiders’ album, the song-writing was like a puking juggernaut, constantly flowing from deep within. What’s a band to do? Record more songs and keep on keeping on, is the right answer… And that’s what we do”
Throughout 2024 the band are concentrating on writing new material for their 5th studio album, getting out for a couple of exclusive festival and a handful of one off shows.
Catch one when you can….
