Bob Vylan to headline Primordial General Mayhem 2024

Primordial Radio is hugely excited to announce that the unique and ever-evolving London duo Bob Vylan will headline the main event of the Primordial General Mayhem on Saturday 27th April 2024. They replace Creeper who have cancelled due to other commitments. Also announced are four-piece, loud, unapologetic, rock outfit  As December Falls as main support. 

Also confirmed across the weekend are Blackgold, The Barstool Preachers, Saint Agnes, Calva Louise and North Atlas, with more to be announced soon.  

Following the resounding success of the sold-out 2023 edition, the Primordial General Mayhem has solidified its reputation as the paramount gathering for both dedicated Primordial members and rock and metal fans alike. Combining the power of music and community, the event has previously hosted the likes of Skindred, Those Damn Crows, Devin Townsend and many more over the past five years with Knotfest describing it as a “Grand Spectacle of Rock Fury”. 

Building on the success of the 2023 sold-out event, the Primordial General Mayhem 2024 will be a two-day event with all band performances taking place in the main room at KK’s Steel Mill in Wolverhampton, UK on Friday 26th, and Saturday 27th April 2024. 
 
Humble as the Sun, the forthcoming album from Bob Vylan continues with much of the rage and urgency that they have come to be known and loved for, but this latest project shows that they are now stronger and wiser, bolstered by the wins and learnings that they have fought hard for along the way. The resulting record aims to leave the listener feeling power alongside their anger, and brings a fresh and compelling blend of punk, rock, grime and rap together in an experimental way. 
 
Following on from the MOBO award-winning and chart-topping album, Bob Vylan Presents the Price of Life, the message woven throughout Humble as the Sun remains dark in places but is high-energy, defiant and unapologetic in its critique of a broken social and political system that so many have fallen victim to, but feel powerless against. 

As December Falls are a long way from their beginnings. The band achieved self-sufficiency early on as a matter of survival after being told they were ‘too this’ and ‘too that’ from the industry gatekeepers. Their DIY attitude and business know-how resulted in the band selling out 90% of shows on their most recent headline tour around the UK and appearing at Download, Slam Dunk Festival, 2000 Trees and more.  
 
Their new album Join The Club made a hugely impressive debut at No.11 in the UK Album Charts with their most recent tour selling over 10,000 tickets across the UK.  
 
Following their immensely successful tours alongside Limp Bizkit and Skindred, nu-metal powerhouse Blackgold is poised to captivate the audience at Primordial General Mayhem. Joining them is vibrant Brighton punk rockers, The Bar Stool Preachers, who will be bringing their infectious sound to the PGM for the first time. 
 
Joining the stellar lineup of bands, Primordial Radio is thrilled to introduce Saint Agnes and Calva Louise, to their inaugural performances at the Primordial General Mayhem. Additionally, they extend a warm welcome back to North Atlas, who made a memorable appearance at the PGM in 2022. Since then, the band has significantly expanded their fan base through successful performances alongside Atreyu, Enter Shikari, Lost Society, and at Download Festival.  

Speaking about the Primordial General Mayhem 2024, Music Director Pete Bailey states: 

“After the huge success of the PGM 2023, we knew we had our work cut out for us, but this is beyond anything we could have hoped for. Whilst we were of course disappointed Creeper had to withdraw, this bill is nothing short of a showcase of the immense talent we have in the UK and for those that attended the PGM in 2022 will know just how electric Bob Vylan’s live shows are. This is going to be a very special event; we can’t wait to see you all in April! “
