Sensational scenes as crowds rock out at Takedown Festival - in pictures

Music fans were rocking out at this year’s fabulous Takedown Festival at Portsmouth Guildhall.

Featuring 37 bands across three stages in about 14 hours of music, there was something for everyone who’s into the heavier end of things at the two-day festival on Friday and Saturday (April 4 and 5).

Highlights includes the blistering celtic-punk of Ferocious Dog; Kite Thief’s hugely cathartic pop-metal; Scarlet Rebels’ anthemic rock; New Jersey emo-rockers Save Face getting frantic; Lake Malice’s frontwoman Alice Guala covering every inch of the stage while showcasing an astonishing voice; and of course Portsmouth’s own Seething Akira storming through a riotous set of their signature electro-metal, finishing with a manic cover of Faithless’ Insomnia.
