Dunes headline The Victoria with heavy riffs and desert rock grit

Newcastle trio Dunes take over The Victoria on Thursday, October 23, bringing their signature blend of stoner rock and alt-grunge to Birmingham’s underground scene. Known for their fuzz-drenched sound and hook-heavy songwriting, the band channels the raw spirit of 90s desert generator parties and the sweat-soaked intensity of the grunge era.

With their third album, Land of the Blind, out now, Dunes are riding high on a wave of critical acclaim. Their music has been praised for its haunting guitar work, thunderous basslines and explosive energy. It’s stoner rock at its finest, with a melodic edge that sets them apart.

Joining the bill are Flamebearer, a heavy rock four-piece whose live shows are a full-throttle assault of power and precision. Expect blistering riffs, pounding drums and a set that refuses to hold back.
