GROUNDBREAKER PROMOTIONS PRESENTS…

Vain Wild

Every decade a British Rock n' Roll band comes around to set fire to the musical landscape. VÄIN WILD aims to be that band.

With a sound heavily inspired by the 80s Glam Metal movement, they have grown massively on social media for their refreshing take on the genre and their magnetic presence. Having toured the country in support of their 2026 debut album, not a single person leaves a VÄIN WILD show unsatisfied. Don't believe us? Come find out.

FFO: Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, Van Halen

Dethonator

A New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal band from the South East of England.

We started out in the East Midlands as Kaleb, during the earliest days of the NWOTHM. Since 2009 we've been active in the UK Metal and Rock venue circuit as Dethonator. Our sound is fully melodic in the classic Heavy Metal style, focusing on clean vocals and lyric lead guitar melodies. We also have secondary influences from Power, Progressive and, occasionally, Extreme Metal genres in our music.

FFO: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dream Theatre

Vulcan

South London old-school metal band forging riff-heavy songs full of groove and melody. Their music is intricate, full of dynamics, but always catchy, soulful and heavy. Touches of classic heavy metal, touches of thrash and doom, all moulded into articulate, honest, memorable songs. Fresh from recording a four-track EP, Vulcan are ready to command stages again.

FFO: Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Paradise Lost.

Hayday

Formed by guitarist George Hayday in 2025, Hayday is the 21st centuries answer to old skool glam metal with a fresh sound for the 2020s. The band line up consists of guitarist George Hayday, bassist Benj Aylott, drummer Tom Becks and singer Michael Costello. Hayday's sound is heavily influenced by bands such as Motley Crue, Dokken, Poison, Ratt, Europe, and Guns N Roses but also hard rock bands of the 70s such as Aerosmith, UFO, Thin Lizzy and Sex Pistols. This gives Hayday's music the thrilling energy and style of glam metal along with the rawer, dangerous edge of 70s rock n roll. Since its formation in 2025, the band has recorded three tracks, set for release throughout 2026. The band is also aiming to play shows around the UK throughout 2026 and 2027 along with fresh plans and ideas for more material already in the works.

FFO: Motley Crue, Poison, Cinderella
