Trailblazer

Upstaged presents Trailblazer!!

Over the course of the weekend 14 bands will be battling it out for their chance to appear at Call of the Wild Festival 2026! Each night will be headlined by bands that have worked hard over the years to grow from emerging talent to be now seen as established acts.

Friday 27th February | 6pm – 10:30pm

Saturday 28th February | 4pm – 10:30pm

Call of The Wild Festival was born from a belief that emerging artists deserve the same stage as rock legends, and that fans deserve a safe, family-friendly environment to enjoy it all. What started as a rebellion against the norm is now a growing, respected festival — proudly independent, fiercely loyal, and loud in all the right ways.

Trailblazer events are a proven springboard for grassroots bands who have the desire and commitment, who want to showcase themselves to a wider audience.
