Wailing Banshee and SkullMaiden

Manchester heavy metal band Wailing Banshee make their Isle of Wight debut at Strings in Newport, with Southampton’s SkullMaiden opening on 12 November.

Wailing Banshee and SkullMaiden play Strings Bar & Venue in Newport on Thursday 12 November, with doors at 7.30pm. TwistedEntity Promotions UK presents the show as its debut event, bringing Manchester’s Wailing Banshee to the Isle of Wight for the first time. Southampton guests SkullMaiden open the evening. The advertised finish is 10.30pm, and admission is for ages 16 and over. Put the date aside for a two-band heavy metal night at the Bowling Green Lane venue.

Wailing Banshee headline with the heavy metal sound their organiser places in the New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal scene. SkullMaiden bring a heavy-power metal blend in the opening slot. If you want to hear the Southampton guests, get there for both bands, and ask for set times if your group can’t arrive together. The 7.30pm time marks doors. The organiser hasn’t named songs or given the headliner’s start time.

Tickets come through TwistedEntity Promotions UK’s ticket service. The public page doesn’t show a price until you choose tickets, so check before you book. Reserve the Thursday for this heavy metal gig and make sure the 16+ condition works for your group. If you need to know about further entry requirements, ask the organiser. The full 7.30–10.30pm window matters for the trip home from central Newport, and leaves time to catch the opening band.
