Have a rocking summer at Level III

Level III kicks off its July extravaganza with its infamous DOOM club night, Swindon’s *only* alternative club night playing the best of rock, punk, metal, ska and more on July 8. Nights out don’t have to be about Rihanna and Beyonce remixes if you don’t want them to be.

Next up is the Nothing But 80s club night on July 15. Whether it’s the moody melancholy of The Smiths or the camp perfection of Wham, Level III will have wall-to-wall hits of tracks from the decade that gave us big technological advances, and even bigger hair!

Sheer Music then follow up their huge Boston Manor show with pop punk big boys WSTR on July 20. One of the region’s best promoters meets one of the UK’s best bands, in one of the country’s most beautiful medium-sized venues. What can go wrong? (Nothing, we hope.)

The day after (July 21) Level III have local favourites Shepherd’s Pie for a free night of hard rock and metal. This one should be packed, but we know the good guys at Level III will always keep the beer flowing.

And if that wasn’t good enough for you, ChuggaBoom are back at Level III the day on July 22, courtesy of Dredded Vyrus Promotions. Prepare for metalcore with a slice of madness, several wheelbarrows of showmanship and one helluva sense of humour. They’ll have local support too!

Finally, to round off the month, on July 28, the lads from Ghouls are paying Swindon a visit. The pop punk band (with a slice of ska) actually have partial roots in Swindon. They’ll be joined by Leeds group Eat Defeat and Wiltshire new-kids-on-the-block Six Feet Above. A show not to be missed.

Finishing the month off are The Sabbath Years on July 29, one of the country’s premier Black Sabbath tributes who are currently on a tour up and down the UK. Any fans of Ozzy (or Dio) and crew shouldn’t miss the chance to rock to the godfathers of heavy metal’s greatest hits and more.

NEXT MONTH: Level III will be playing host to the legends of Goldie Lookin Chain for a proper comedy/rap knees-up on August 5. Be there or be… circle.
