Massive Wagons

In the organizer's words:

Massive Wagons, the British rock powerhouse, was founded in 2009 out of sheer boredom in a small town and a desire for loud live music. Led by Baz Mills, each member puts their heart, soul and sweat into every performance. 100% dedication is their motto - a tradition they have inherited from their rock idols. It is precisely this dedication that will see the British hard rockers return to German stages in spring 2025.

The Wagons, who are currently under the wing of indie label Earache, have stormed the official British album charts several times in the top 20, reaching an impressive sixth place. But they are far from resting on their laurels. Their relentless energy is not just confined to the stage, but also drives their tireless work ethic. Touring the UK and Europe is second nature to them, sharing the stage with legends like Lynyrd Skynyrd in arenas, The Wildhearts and Ugly Kid Joe in clubs, The Darkness and Thunder in theaters; Massive Wagons have conquered them all. The band are spreading the word far and wide in 2024, with a European tour supporting Kissin' Dynamite in October, but they're not just about gigs; festivals are their natural stomping ground too. From Wacken to Mystic Fest, from Alcatraz to Rock For People, they are leaving their mark all over the continent.

With their brand new single The Good Die Young, Massive Wagons promise great things in anticipation of their upcoming seventh studio album Earth To Grace, which will be released on November 8th via Earache Records. The boisterous, pop-punk influenced track features guest vocals from Colin Doran of popular British band Hundred Reasons. The forthcoming album brings the anthemic muscle and punky drive that Massive Wagons have made their name with, adding a dash of stardust that catapults the band into the stratosphere as masterful songwriters. Earth To Grace drew inspiration from the sad passing of Sinéad O'Connor, the disturbing movie Sound Of Freedom, the "brutal" TikTok algorithm and the themes of 80s TV series like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors and Cities Of Gold. From the shimmering slow-dancer Night Skies to the dynamic The Good Die Young and the earth-shaking power of Adam 'Bowzer' Bouskill's bass and Alex Thistlethwaite's drumming on album opener Sleep Forever, each track is a standout in its own right. The album also sees the welcome return of the direct sincerity of Mills' lyricism, as well as Adam Thistlethwaite and Stevie Holl's twin guitars intertwining to create a formidable double helix of guitar power.
