Brave Rival

Support from Demi Marriner

Sunday 26th October 2025

Doors at 19:00

STANDING EVENT
Brave Rival are a rock band on a mission. No gimmicks, no frills—just raw, high-energy, riff-driven rock that demands to be heard.

Since forming in 2019, the Portsmouth-based quartet—vocalist Lindsey Bonnick, guitarist Ed ‘the Shred’ Clarke, bassist Billy Dedman, and drummer Donna Peters—have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most electrifying live acts. Their debut album Life’s Machine (2022) put them on the map, catching the attention of critics, fans, and even Joe Bonamassa, who called them one of his “favourite discoveries.”

Their 2024 follow-up, Fight or Flight, upped the stakes, earning a 9/10 review from Classic Rock Magazine, who hailed it as “an album packed with ambition, fire, and killer songs.” With massive hooks, blistering guitar work, and unstoppable energy, the album set the stage for their biggest year yet—festivals, headline tours, and sharing stages with rock legends like FM.

Brave Rival are only getting started. Get on board or get out of the way.

With support from Demi Marriner Winner of Whispering Bob Harris’s Emerging Artist Award at the UK Americana Awards, Demi brings her powerhouse vocals, heartfelt songwriting, and genre-spanning sound to the stage. With performances across the UK, Europe & USA (including Americana Fest Nashville!), she’s an artist you need to see live.
