What’s On

In a frankly unbelievable turn of events Hayley & Steve have been running good-ship Portland for 20 years this weekend!

To apologise/celebrate this fact (depending on your point of view) we will be having some of our favourite bands and people performing throughout the day for us starting with acoustic performances in the main bar before rocking it out in the venue during the evening.

The Eye

After years apart, The Eye have reformed for one night only, bringing their inimitable style off R’n’B, pop and rock, back to their spiritual home, The Famous Portland Arms.

All proceeds going to local charities.

Annual charity fundraiser with Sugarbeat and support from our friends The Accelerants, expect some special guest appearances and all the usual Sugarbeat shenanigans. Proceeds to JDRF UK – the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

OAYSIS perform tunes such as Supersonic, Don’t Look Back In Anger, Wonderwall and more with absolute accuracy.

This is the closet thing to seeing OASIS live, check their videos. They’ll bring the spirit of Knebworth to you!

The 900 are the UK’s first and only “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater” cover band. Formed by their mutual understanding that no other soundtrack could ever top THPS, The 900 gives you a reason for your back to hurt in the morning. With the approval of the Birdman himself, as well as Goldfinger’s John Feldmann, they’re ready to kickflip into every big banger from THPS1 to American Wasteland.

Expect to hear tunes spanning all the games including AFI, Alien Ant Farm, Bad Religion, Black Flag, CKY, Dead Kennedys, Goldfinger, Green Day, Lagwagon, Less Than Jake, Millencolin, Motorhead, NOFX, Papa Roach, Powerman 5000, Rage Against The Machine, The Ramones, Refused, Suicidal Tendencies, System of a Down and many more!

£1 from each ticket will be donated to CamSkate.

King Awesome are the ultimate tribute to those explosive late 80s nights on L.A.’s Sunset Strip where big riffs and even bigger hair ruled the airwaves; where you rocked all night and partied all day; when your rallying cry was ‘nothin’ but a good time!

Following hard in the footsteps of their 80s heroes, King Awesome fuse blistering riffs, anthemic choruses and an incendiary live show full of high kicks, fists pumps and tongue-in-cheek references to all your favourite 80s cliches! With an ‘all killer: no filler’ greatest hits set of Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Poison, Whitesnake and all their hard-rockin’ amigos, King Awesome hold their crowds in the palm of their leather-gloved hands and partying like it’s 1989!
