This weekend on Saturday 4th July see’s Die Laughing Promotions return to the city of Leicester for their second instalment and once again it’s a sick line up, I may add!

Headlining the show is none other than East Midlands very own Full Contact & supported by LBU boys, Kartel, Emancipation & Blood Money.

This show takes place at Duffy’s Irish Bar from 7pm and is available for a measly £10 on the door with no advanced tickets on offer, so you’ve got to get down to the venue sharpish!

Blood Money are new blood from the Birmingham Hardcore scene, however! if you’re a part of the Birmingham scene you may recognise some faces. Birmingham hardcore is growing and it’s great to see something like the BHX rising.

Blood Money released their 5 track demo back in May and it’s definitely going to get you mobile.

I’ve caught these lads a few times over the past year, including Josh Fest and the Rhapsody Records all dayer.

Emancipation are a Nottingham based metalcore band who rip shit up when their on stage and off it! This time their back at the scene of their first show so I’m sure they’ll be absolutely riled up to get going again.

The main support slot is being held by one of the LBU’s best in Kartel. Returning back to the game over the past year with a few London shows towards the end of 2025 they are about to embark on the East Mids scene and show you the legends they are.

This is one band I absolutely fuckin love within the London scene so it’s great to see them active again!

East Midlands very own Full Contact will be headlining the show and of course what a fitting way to say goodbye to Harley (where this will be his last show with Full Contact) at such a sick local venue. Why wouldn’t an East Mids show be the right call, right?

Here’s to watching people lose their shit!

Die Laughing Promotions are bringing something great to the local East Midlands area with the shows they are putting on and it’s more important than ever to support DIY hardcore .

Show up, support your local promoter, your local bands and your local scene!

MOSH HARD FOR DIY HARDCORE

Until next time, I’ll catch you in the pit!
