Gnawing Hunger - Slaves (PRE RELEASE)

24/01/2026

Last night was amazing, so amazing that I have woken up with Laryngitis 🤣

Shout out to all the bands for putting on an unreal night, you all absolutely smashed it out of the park. First gig of the year, can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings 🖤

The Shipman Enquiry, Suffer UK, Ratpile, Arbiter, Gloom49, Bite The Bullet and Knifepoint

Shout out to our very own Luke for putting that night together! Can’t wait to see what your band brings to the table this year 😏

Thank you to everyone who showed up to support the bands, and their friends. This is why we do what we do!

For now, I am signing off and dying in a corner 🤣

Much love, Cara 🖤

😤 9 DAYS TO GO! 😤

This is not a 'chill little' gig.
This is blast beats in your chest.
Breakdowns that fold your spine.
Vocals that sound like hell cracking open.

If you love Lorna Shore, Slaughter to Prevail, Thy Art Is Murder, Su***de Silence, this is your altar.

No barriers.
No mainstream fluff.

Just brutal bands, filthy riffs and a room full of people who came to lose their voices and their minds.

🎟 Tickets are moving and once they’re gone, that’s it.

You either tell people you were there… or you watch the clips wishing you were.

Drop a 🩸 in the comments if you’re coming.

Tag your pit crew.
Share it to summon the heavy.
Bolton is about to go feral.

So... This is a thing now 🤣🤣

Magical pony flying through the air...

We want to be upfront with everyone about a change to the upcoming tour lineup.

C2 will always put the quality of our tours and the fans’ experience first. Unfortunately, we had to remove one of the bands due to ongoing conflicts within the lineup. While disagreements can happen, the way they chose to handle it was unprofessional and childish, something we will never tolerate on our tours.

Our focus is on working with artists who bring passion, respect, and unity both on and off the stage. The remaining lineup is stronger than ever, and we’re excited to bring you an unforgettable tour package.

Thank you for standing with us. See you out on the road 🖤

*With permission from the guys*

🔥INTRODUCING🔥

Malicious Compliance Hailing from the London scene, Malicious Compliance fuses modern metalcore grit with nu-metalcore grooves. Blending glitchy electronics, bone-shaking riffs, and raw emotion. Their music hits hard, digs deep, and refuses to look away.

With a brand-new EP, A Mind So Concrete, dropping 30/10/25, and singles like Circle of Life and Means to an End/Self Service already turning heads, this is a band ready to break barriers.

We can’t wait to help bring their vision to life, on stage, on screen, and everywhere in between. Give them a follow, give them a listen. You honestly will not be disappointed 😎

I have come to realise, I take too many pictures with my phone! 🤣

Here are the edited pictures so far from Pit-Nic, there are more to come from my phone, but let's not even get me started on the ones from the camera 🫠

If you see yourself, tag away! If you see your band, tag away! My brain has melted 🤣

I haven't managed to sort all the photos out yet of the bands, I will get round to doing it, there are A LOT 😅

But here are some of my favourites 🥰 Our smallest member of C2 had thee best time at her very first gig and made some ever lasting friendships and memories 🖤

Thank you all, for making her first gig the most memorable for her, it means the world to me, and to her; so much so, she wants to come to the next one! 😂
