LIVE FROM THE PIT: Mangata Festival 2025
Mangata Festival proved itself once again as a vital celebration of the heavy and the weird, where rising local acts shared stages with international chaos merchants and every room felt alive with something loud, strange, or completely unexpected.

LIVE FROM THE PIT: Fentanyl, Flesh Prison, Kute, Perp Walk,
Fentanyl’s set was definitely one of the heavier ones New Cross Inn has ever seen, and it has been welcomed with an unmatched energy from its loyal fans.

The third concert of the Real Life Summer Jams was indeed a successful one and a one the band is not going to forget any time soon.
