SOUTHEND HEADBANGERS BALL Part 2
The New Era of Heavy Metal Nights now at Sunrooms 2, Southend
Southend-on-Sea is about to get louder.
This event marks the first of many Heavy Metal nights at Sunrooms 2, bringing
together old-school 1980s metal attitude with the raw power of today’s underground
scene. Hosted by the legendary Dr Ve’Garn Voodoo, this night is built for 80s rockers
and modern Gen Z metalheads alike — a place where walls shake, heads bang, and
riffs still kick harder than most modern rock.
Expect classic, badass metal anthems that defined a generation, blended with
contemporary heaviness that keeps the pit alive.
Live Music
The night features live performances from two of Southend’s hardest-hitting bands:
• HOBO – delivering pure, no-compromise hard rock
• WYTCHEAD – Southend’s newest Grunge Metal Trio, raw, loud, and
unapologetic.
DJs & Three Music Areas
Alongside host Dr Ve’Garn Voodoo, the decks will be handled by:
• Misty Tee
• Voorzta
• Guest DJs (TBA)
Across three music areas, including a dedicated Metal vs Tech zone, floor-stomping
lunatics can move between crushing guitars and relentless beats all night long.
Competitions & Prizes
• Air Guitar Competition between bands, with killer 80s-inspired prizes
• Best “Metal” Outfit of the Night, rewarding the most authentic, outrageous, and
heavy looks
Entry & Cause
Entry is FREE, with donation buckets passed around on the night in support of:
• F.R.I.E.N.D. Farmed Animal Sanctuary• Camp Beagle
As part of The Southend F.R.I.E.N.D. Collective, these events raise awareness and
