The band delivers an exciting blend of exclusive reimagined Space material and powerful original songs, creating a live show that's both familiar and completely unique.

Beyond the stage, Firehead is also set to play an important role within the proposed Lucidia Records Artist Mentoring Programme. By sharing their collective experience of touring, recording, songwriting and the realities of the modern music industry,

Alongside these reinvented classics, Firehead continues to develop an impressive catalogue of original material, showcasing the band's own identity and creative ambition.
