If you want to see a full on band giving it their all then The Really Hot Chili Peppers are definately the band to see. These guys are the original Chili Peppers tribute and have stacked up over 500 gigs and still going strong. UK, Europe and Asia have all seen these guys deliver their perfect stage set to the Los Angeles band and with a lead singer just like Anthony Kiedis and a bass as mad as 'flea' from the band they are an outfit not to be missed. Expect high octane delivery from these guys and be sure to be blown away by their stage antics let alone their storming set.

Planet Friday are a revolutionary rock experience of eclectic covers and own material that is out of this world.

This will be the bands first appearance at a Fake Festival so make sure you arrive in time to witness their set.
Sapphire Lane are a 5 piece band from Nottingham that play their own material plus some covers. With a local following and plenty of gigs under their belt at venues in and around Nottingham they have established themselves as a hard working band eager to please. They will throw in the odd cover song to keep you on your toes such as 'I Love Rock N Roll' by Joan Jet or 'Teenage Kicks' by the Undertones. Check them out at the Fake Festival.
Subject To Change formed in September 09, After being in a previous band together over the past 12 years Kev and Paul decided to start a new venture. Dawn and James being mates and fans of Kevs former band got together for a few jam sessions and became Subject To Change! After a few gigs and a couple months later, along came Tribo.... and so it began. Basically they do a whole lot of covers of which we chose individually as we have various music tastes and never fails to go down great with the crowd and also some of our original material which has a rock/pop feel.
