Along with that they are welcoming German crust powerhouses ANCST over from Berlin, reggae punk rockers AUTHORITY ZERO and Bird Attack Records favourites SUCH GOLD over from the states. There will be reunion sets from OFFICER DOWN and CALVINBALL, an acoustic appearance from Leatherface front man FRANKIE STUBBS, Cornish hardcore outfit F.
