Godsticks + Hekz

GODSTICKS

It’s been a long and eventful road for Godsticks since emerging onto the progressive rock scene in 2009. Metal Hammer Magazine called them ""the U.K’s most idiosyncratic rock band” and over the years and several albums later, their music became progressively heavier. In their last few years of touring, the band have now finally gained recognition as the explosive, high energy live act they’d always threatened to become. After headline shows across the U.K. and festival slots at the likes Tech Fest, Comendatio and Prog Power Europe, Godsticks then released their sixth studio album ‘This Is What A Winner Looks Like in 2023 and began their biggest ever run of live headline gigs and festival appearances.
