Rock City is home to the Bodycraft Tattoo stage, with the likes of InMe, SikTh and Black Peaks busting out guitar solos left right and centre. In the gloomy Rock City Basement, you can expect sweaty sets from Bad Touch and Autumn Ruin.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
