On 1 November, Hèll On Sphinx presents a show at Muziekgieterij featuring IGNITE and special guests CANCER BATS (plus additional acts to be announced).

IGNITE broke through in 1993 in the punk and hardcore scene of Orange County. In 2022, the band opened a new chapter with their self-titled album, introducing Eli Santana as vocalist. The album contains everything that defines the band: catchy songs, powerful messages, and raw energy.

Cancer Bats have been coming out of Toronto, Ontario for over twenty years and are known for their heavy blend of hardcore and metal. During that time they released seven studio albums and toured the world relentlessly. Their live shows - featuring heavy riffs, thundering bass lines, and pounding drums - have earned them a devoted global following.
