Hacktivist+ Waterlines
Hacktivist land in Leeds on Saturday 8th August at the Lending Room, bringing their unmistakable fusion of grime, rap and heavy metal. Known for rapid fire bars over crushing djent riffs, they’ve built a reputation as one of the most unique and politically charged forces in UK heavy music. Expect chaos, energy and a set that hits from start to finish.
Joining them are Waterlines, delivering modern metalcore with massive choruses and emotional weight, balancing heaviness with atmosphere.
Infirm of Purpose bring relentless intensity and sharp, aggressive riffs, while Amongst Thieves complete the lineup with high energy metalcore packed with punchy breakdowns and hooks that stick.
This is a stacked lineup from front to back. No filler, no standing still.
Blackthorn Promotions shows are built on community, energy and creating space for everyone.
