THE FACTORY LIVE + HAMMERDOWN PRESENTS The Factory Live have partnered with Hammerdown Festival to present a series of concerts celebrating the greatest New Wave Of British Heavy Metal bands - all original, all raising the roof of this intimate venue live in Worthing. Our first instalment in April will be headlined by Tygers Of Pan Tang. Emerging in 1978 as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, English rockers Tygers of Pan Tang employ a muscular blend of melody and might that falls somewhere between Def Leppard and Saxon. After debuting in 1980 with the raw, chart-topping Wildcat, the band issued a string of successful LPs with more commercial aspirations and landed a pair of hits with "Hellbound" and a fiery cover of the Leiber & Stoller-penned "Love Potion No. 9." The group officially re-formed in 1999 around guitarist and co-founder Robb Weir, who guided the band through the ensuing decades with studio albums like Animal Instinct (2008), Tygers of Pan Tang (2016), and Bloodlines (2023). With a fantastic third band to be announced to get you all warmed up for the epic evening of live music ahead. If you like this, make sure you check out our Hammerdown Warm Up show in July, and there’s another massive NWOBHM in October to be announced soon!TYGERS OF PAN TANG + TYTAN + TBA
Main support comes from high-energy, heavy metal band Tytan! Born from the ashes of New Wave of British Heavy Metal contenders Angel Witch, London, England's Tytan was cobbled together in the second half of 1981 by that first band's erstwhile rhythm section of bassist Kevin Riddles and drummer Dave DuFort, after they forged a partnership with Scottish-born singer Kal Swan and guitarists Steve Gibbs and Stuart Adams. The current line up features original member Kevin Riddles (Angel Witch / Paul Sampsons Empire), Andy Thompson, Ian Nash (Grim Reaper), Mark Hale (Overdrive) and Mark Walker (Tyrant / Grim Reaper).
