Ricky has gathered many strings to his bow and his capacity to deliver new work to an appreciative fanbase with the accuracy of a perfectly flighted arrow is beyond impressive.

the chris slade timeline
closing the show saturday @ bonfest
With a career spanning over six decades, Chris Slade is one of rock's most respected and versatile drummers. Best known as the powerhouse behind AC/DC during their Ballbreaker era — including the massive world tour and live album — Slade has also played with an astonishing lineup of icons including Jimmy Page (The Firm), David Gilmour, Manfred Mann’s Earth Band, Gary Moore, and Asia.
Now, with The Chris Slade Timeline, he brings a full-throttle celebration of his life in music to the stage. The band performs classic tracks from across Slade’s legendary career — from the anthems of AC/DC to deep cuts from his work with The Firm and beyond. More than just a live show, it’s a journey through rock history, led by a man who helped write it. Expect epic drumming, monster riffs, and a setlist packed with surprises and pure energy.

bonafide
sunday @ Bonfest!
The Bonafide that audiences recognise today was formed in 2014, when guitarist Anders Rosell joined the band. The current lineup, featuring Pontus Snibb (vocals/guitar), Niklas Matsson (drums), and Martin Ekelund (bass), have released three studio albums – Denim Devils, Flames and Are You Listening? and Live at KB (2019) which not only captured the essence of Bonafide’s sound but also served as a powerful summary of the band’s first six albums. On the album, the band delivers classics like Night Time and Peg Legged Pete, while putting their own stamp on tracks such as Dirt Bound and Fill Your Head With Rock from Something’s Drippin’. But it’s with live renditions of songs like Bottle of Jack, Hold Down the Fort, and Power Down that Bonafide truly shine. The performance on Live at KB underscores Bonafide’s core ambition: to deliver hard rock as it was meant to be played—rooted in electric blues and early rhythm and blues.

black spiders
sunday @ bonfest
Since 2008 Black Spiders have continued to make a loud and compelling case for heavy guitar music, from the sin city streets, revelling in the glories of the genre, its sacred lore, with a top-shelf collection of riffs, a sly dash of humour, plus an iconic logo that sits alongside the best.
Black Spiders have toured all over Europe with a variety of rock’s most riff-hungry sons, the likes of Volbeat, Danzig, Airbourne, Ozzy, Black Stone Cherry and Monster Magnet, and appeared at all of the UK’s leading festivals, including Download, Sonisphere and Bloodstock and many of the smaller independent festivals too…
Noted for their unswerving dedication to the music, the middle finger (or two) and the rousing rock ‘n’ roll slogan (“EAT THUNDER, SH*T LIGHTNING!”), the Spiders are the perfect low-slung machine to raise a glass or clench a tattooed fist to – even while hoovering the kids bedroom….
