From the gritty Sheffield swagger of Arctic Monkeys — with iconic anthems like "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", "Do I Wanna Know?", and "R U Mine?" — to the arena-filling synth-soaked hits of The Killers, including "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me", and "When You Were Young", this is a night where indie royalty collide.

Two top-tier tribute bands will take to the stage, trading hit after hit in a fierce musical face-off to decide once and for all: who rules the indie rock kingdom?

The show is open to 14+ but all under 16s to be accompanied by 18+/Adult.
