State of Deceit, The Colony + supports
7:30pm
After a plethora of sold-out shows, State of Deceit has become the pride of South Wales and the “must see” band across the UK. While each gig has been unique, each with its own epiphanies and fireworks, there is one thing that has always been the cornerstone. This band blows the roof off the joint anywhere they play, and new fans go home knowing they just saw something
new, something heavy, something consequential…
The COLONY is a Alternative Metal band with over 13 years of experience in the music scene. Known for their powerful sound and dynamic performances, they capture the essence of the genre while drawing inspiration from influential bands like five finger death punch, Bad Wolves and I Prevail.

XSLF
7pm
XSLF are back in 2026 for their fifth year at the B2, and if the last four are anything to go by it will be another night of mayhem bought to you by Stiff Little Fingers’ founding member Henry Cluney and his band. They’ll bring you a set of the classics from SLF’s first three albums (and maybe one or two from their own albums too), all played with the power and passion that saw Henry Cluney (as part of SLF) explode onto the scene in 1977.
Supporting XSLF, and they themselves celebrating 20-years as a band this year, are local cover band The Punktures. They’ll bring you a set of punk classics (excluding those from SLF of course) that every punk fan would have grown to love over punk’s own 50-years.
Opening the night, and making their debut as a gigging duo, are Beef & Onions who describe themselves as ‘acoustic lounge punk’. Two very experienced musicians from local punk/ska/2tone bands, Beef & Onions will bring you their own versions of punk classics (and possibly the odd ska and 2tone number) as they kick the night off in a slightly more relaxed way.
