About this concert
On April 3rd, 2025, Rider's Café will bring two extraordinary bands to the stage:
BATTLE BORN with their epic live show and distinctive blend of fantasy and power metal and XSKULL8 with their chart-topping rock hits and powerful riffs.
An explosive combination that you have to experience live!
Southampton's BATTLE BORN welcomes you to their neon cathedral of steel; a world of bombastic, synth-driven heavy metal where the heroic sounds of traditional British heavy metal meet dazzling contemporary new heights.
At a time when music needs heroes to believe in, Battle Born has become the UK's most exciting new act and the band delivers an authentic, passionate and high-octane stage show.
XSKULL8 brings the sound of the 90s back to the stage - modern, fresh and full of passion. Fans of alternative rock and post-grunge can look forward to a concert that brings back memories and sets new standards at the same time.
