We're very excited to announce that formidable live force Witch Fever will play a special one-off headline gig to precipitate the launch of Gigwise 3: The Misfits Issue. Bag a ticket for their show at Manchester's Night & Day Café for 13 April.

The Misfits Issue will feature a brand new interview with Witch Fever alongside a stunning original shoot by Diana Dumi.

With support from the bubblegrunge of Swim School, the show is set to be a rollicking presentation of some of the best in new live acts. Both bands have been on a steep trajectory up to the top of the live circuit with fans emerging from Witch Fever and Swim School shows soaked in sweat and raving about the charged atmosphere of each. 

Witch Fever are riding high on the back of their recent EP Reincarnate. Scoring it a 9/10, we called it “an EP that will burst eardrums, shake buildings and inspire pure punk rage”. Live, the project is even more incendiary, frontwoman Amy Walpole using the whole stage—and often, the whole venue—to pour forth Witch Fever’s furiously heavy sound.
