Regrettably, due to the current economical circumstances, Uprising V will now take place on June 25th 2022. But that doesn’t mean that Uprising aren’t bringing the action to you this year too! A message from Mr Uprising (Simon Yarwood) himself: “Hi folks It is with some regret but also with you as our main priority that we are having to postpone Uprising until June 25th 2022, we have been watching events around the UK closely over the last few weeks and it has become apparent that we can’t ensure you will get the lineup you are excited to see. Bands and crew are with due diligence having to test for Covid prior to events and if even one member tests positive or lives with someone testing positive it is forcing them to pull from events , we don’t want that to be the case as it has for many past and upcoming gigs and small festivals. I can tell you it’s looking very promising that we will keep all or the majority of the Saturday bands Confirmed so far!! Orange Goblin, Diamond Head, Raging Speedhorn, Ingested, Red Method, Garganjua, Mage, Twisted Illusion,Blood Oath […]
