Doors 9pm/Admission Free
The return of Portadown’s In Case Of Fire to Radar is surely not one to be missed. The band spent the end of 2011 touring with Switchfoot with an exciting new-line-up and are currently recording an E.P that is due in the coming months.
After their debut album “Align The Planets” received numerous critical plaudits across the board (Q 4/5, Uncut 4/5, Kerrang 4/5, Big Cheese 5/5) in 2009 alongside three Radio 1 playlisted singles and two Maida Vale sessions, ICOF toured relentlessly throughout the UK showcasing their much lauded live set supporting acts such as Queens Of The Stone Age, Biffy Clyro and 30 Seconds To Mars.
The band yielded spectacular results in the form of consistently jaw-dropping performances at Glastonbury (Other Stage), T in The Park (Radio 1/NME stage), Reading/Leeds (Radio 1/NME stage), Download (Second Stage) and Summersonic in Japan. The trio capped off a remarkable year by winning ’Best Newcomers’ at the 2009 Kerrang Awards. Having parted amicably with their management at the end of 2010, ICOF decided to take a break from touring and have spent 2011 crafting their much awaited sophomore record.

Before Machines
Having launched their last single ‘Stalagmites’ in the Union’s Bunatee towards the end of 2011, fans of Before Machines are eagerly awaiting hearing the bands forthcoming album. With guitar work that is dually heavy and intricate their sound recalls acts such as Jetplane Landing and At The Drive In.

Like Statues
Hailing from Lisburn, the progressive four-piece began turning heads last year with the release of their Numeric By Design EP. With a sound that is sure to appeal to fans of bands such as Biffy Clyro, Incubus and Reuben, the band return to Radar having headlined their own show here last year.
