Local Cambridge lads The Datusns exploded on the scene back in 2000 with their ditty ‘Super Gyration!' which has kept fans and music critics gyrating in their seats ever since.

This year they released their sixth album ‘Deep Sleep' and recently toured throughout the UK and Europe. They've stages with Shihad, The Horrors, An Emerald City, Ozzy Osbourne and Korn.

London based Kiwis I Am Giant

Originally from Waitakere and now London based, I Am Giant are fresh from touring the United States and Europe to promote their second album ‘Science and Survival', released in July 2014.

In 2010 the band became Quicksilver's ambassadors for Europe and their songs have also featured on a number of extreme sports DVD's around the world.

Christchurch's Cairo Knife Fight are Nick Gaffaney on drums, vocals, bass and loops, and a revolving cast of guitarists including Joel Haines and Aaron Tokona.

Don't be fooled, these guys make one hell of a noise and Shihad's Jon Toogood says they show audiences how 'you can perform rock music in a totally different way”.
