Line-up
Talent from across Essex and Hertfordshire

Shoasis (Oasis Tribute act)
Headlining Boxfest 2025, Shoasis are the Southeast's ultimate Oasis Tribute Band, and they’ve got some serious credentials – from warming up for Liam Gallagher himself to appearing in a major Dacia ad campaign.
​
Shoasis will take you straight back to the glory days of the 90s, playing all the Oasis classics you know and love. From Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova to Roll With It, it’s pure nostalgia - and you’ll be belting out every word.
These talented lads have spent years perfecting the ultimate Oasis gig experience. So, dust off your parkas, grab your mates, and come relive the magic.

The BEATROUTE
Boxfest favourites The Beatroute are back for another high-energy, floor-filling set.
​
For over 20 years, they’ve raised the roof at corporate balls, weddings, birthday bashes and more. They even headlined St Albans’ Queen’s Platinum celebrations for a crowd of 10,000 – and they know exactly how to get everyone on their feet.
Whether you’re into 70s funky grooves, 80s anthems, or 90s throwbacks, there’s something for everyone. Trust us – you won’t be sitting down!​

PARABØLA
Fresh, fearless, and full of talent, Parabøla are the rising stars of the local music scene.
With a mix of killer covers and original tracks like their crowd-favourite Candy Cigarettes, these guys are impossible to ignore.
If you’ve seen them at The Pioneer Club or The Horn in St Albans, you already know they bring it. If not, Boxfest is your chance to get involved.

The visitors
Get ready for raw energy, unforgettable tunes, and a show that’ll blow the roof off. The Visitors are an epic four-piece power band bringing high-octane punk, new wave, rock classics and a whole lotta noise.
​
These local legends are regulars on the pub scene, and know how to put on a gig you won’t forget. You’ll rock out to Radiohead, The Buzzcocks, T-Rex, Marc Almond, The Cranberries, and more.
If you’re into big riffs, rock anthems and a good dose of chaos, make sure you’re front and centre for The Visitors at Boxfest.
