Christmas Slaycation is a spectacular family-friendly event blending live heavy metal music with high-energy wrestling action. Promising to be the "greatest afternoon of all-ages heavy metal and wrestling action in the history of the world," this one-of-a-kind show is designed to entertain both kids and adults alike. 

The event features Lucha Britannia's iconic masked luchadores, renowned for their gravity-defying wrestling stunts and captivating performances at festivals like Download and Soccer AM. These skilled performers bring their decade-long expertise to deliver a jaw-dropping display of wrestling theatrics.

Joining them is Slay Duggee, a band of five dogs known for their metal versions of beloved children's songs and theme tunes. Fresh off a summer of epic performances, including playing to 9,000 fans at Download 2024, Slay Duggee promises to get the crowd rocking with hits like “Baby Shark”, “Bluey”, and “Stick”. Their engaging performances encourage families to headbang, pogo, and even create fun mosh pit shapes together.
