That’s right!!

HOLE TRIPPER are joining our amazing lineup for SamFest 2027!

Hole Tripper are a Bristol band proudly making 90s infused alt-rock music with grunge in its bones. They deliver weighty riffs and big vocals that hit with raw intensity. Hole Tripper are now one of the biggest draws in the Bristol grassroots scene having sold out the Thekla and made history as the first unsigned headliner of the O2 Academy Bristol main stage. Their forthcoming Ditch EP is produced and mixed by Dave Hillis, who engineered Pearl Jam's Ten and Alice in Chains' Sap. Their rock roots are tangibly early-90s alternative, but the new material is not looking backwards. Hole Tripper push the genre forward one riff at a time, relentlessly making banging new music for those who lived it and loved it, and those who wish they'd been there.

Still haven’t grabbed your tickets?
Hanging around like you’re thinking about it?
Waiting for a sign from the festival gods?

Alright cheeky, here it is.

Early bird tickets are running LOW! Seriously, they’re disappearing faster than your mate when it’s their round at the bar.

And tonight?

We drop the clue you’ve been dying for.

8PM TONIGHT.

Don’t pretend you’re not excited.
