Rockstar rises again!
A revised festival-friendly version of Rockstar was performed in the theatre space at The Curzon pub in Brighton on August 19th-21st. A new song - 'Devil's Bargain' - has been added, other songs have been revised, and the story focuses more sharply on the love triangle and creative differences that threaten to tear the band apart. The new version got a fantastic audience reaction. Head to the Rockstar page on this website to hear live recordings from the show.
