First of all, introducing your two headliners...

Ghosts Of Atlantis

Hailing from Suffolk in the United Kingdom, Ghosts Of Atlantis are a dark symphonic metal band that carry a wealth of experience. Ghosts Of Atlantis (G.O.A) features both present, and past members of Devilment, Failed Humanity, The Conflict Within, and Cold Lazarus. Ghosts Of Atlantis released their critically acclaimed debut album 3.6.2.4 in 2021 with a fantastic response across mainstream and underground media alike. A slew of Shows followed in the late summer of 2021 with the bands debut at Bloodstock Open Air Festival.

The band have continued playing shows and festivals across the UK, and 2023 saw Ghosts Of Atlantis head out for their first shows and festival appearances in mainland Europe.

N0trixx

A familar face to some of you already after visiting Legends on her UK tour in 2026. n0trixx lives with dissociative identity disorder and has two alters. One of them is a rapper and producer who makes sick bedlamcore music. The other is a successful investment banker. To protect the privacy of her other self, n0trixx strikes her face from all pictures and hides her features behind a twisted mask in videos.

n0trixx is a passionate mental health advocate and encourages her fans to speak out about their problems and seek help for the issues that they face. In 2022 she launched a discord community for mutual mental health support of her fans which has now grown into one of the top servers for trap metal lovers. She is also part of Neurodivergent Crew (IG: @neurodivergent_crew), a collective of four artists with different mental health diagnoses (DID, ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia) joined together to raise awareness and speak up on behalf of neurodivergent people.

Other Saturday bands...

Visions Of Disfigurement

Slamming Death Metal, formed in 2013 in Manchester. Formed originally as an internet project, summer 2014 saw VOD completing the line up with the addition of a vocalist, bassist and second guitarist. 

Not only have these guys played 6 major UK festivals in the last 5 years, they've also played 5 in mainland Europe, with their latest album 'Vile Mutilation' making them blow up even more across the International Metal scene.

Eyes Of A Nihilist

A firm fans favourite in Mansfield, EOAN return for their third visit, and guaranteed to open a portal to hell on stage.

They are an Orchestral Thall/Deathcore band hailing from King's Lynn, Norfolk. Formed in 2022 the band has performed alongside well established acts such as Party Cannon, and bring a heavy, ominous presence to their live show that becomes an experience not to be missed.

FFO: Vildhjarta Humanity's Last Breath, Carcosa, Meshuggah, and Black Tongue.

Swarms

This band has a place close to our heart, being the headliner of the first ever Arockalypse Productions gig, held in Mansfield, at Priors Well in February 2024. It has been a while, but its a pleasure to bring them back. 

They bring devestating hardcore from the abandoned Coal Mines of County Durham. They won their regional M2TM final in 2023, earning themselves a slot at Bloodstock festival.

Other Sunday bands...

Arkdown

A five-piece metal band from the East Midlands, UK, blending modern metalcore, death metal and hardcore into a relentless mix of crushing riffs, punishing breakdowns and powerful melodic hooks. Sharing stages with bands like Fit For An Autopsy, Decapitated, Loathe, Make Them Suffer, and Oceans Ate Alaska.

Following significant line-up changes, Arkdown returned in 2026 with a rebuilt line-up and a heavier, more aggressive sound. Their comeback saw them win Nottingham's Metal 2 The Masses competition, securing a slot and headlining the New Blood Stage at Bloodstock Open Air 2026.

Their new five-track EP, In Absence of Mercy, captures the band's uncompromising new direction, delivering raw aggression, relentless groove and crushing heaviness.

Tealdeer

Ominous Deer Anthems from the East Midlands, blending multiple genres of metal. M2TM Nottingham winners 2026.

Hedra

Another firm fans favourite returns for their third visit to Legends.

The Cambridge based progressive heavy metal band were formed in 2014 to make an alternate style of heavy metal music of a melodic heartfelt nature, with an unadulterated goal to carry it to the stages across the country witnessing the dystopian lands and helping those who need it along the way to rebuild sounds which have been forgotten like the land, with loudness and a genuine progressive feel to the music the band have built up a tight stable and honest following in the course of 10 years and treat each show with a similar vitality, nobility and presentation regardless to venue capacity. 

Those of you familiar with our location will know, it's not massive, so neither is our capacity, so we expect tickets to disappear very quickly, so don't delay and buy them today! 

We would like to thank Rastattoo and The Underworld for sponsoring our event to help make this possible.
