Photos: GUN, Tailgunner, Lucie Sue, Perfect Beasts and more at Winter's End 2026

After Thursday’s four-band warm-up, Planet Rock’s Winter’s End kicked into full gear on Friday with eight acts across the day.

Headlined by firm Trecco Bay favourites GUN, Friday's evening session also boasted metal livewires Tailgunner, French rocker Lucie Sue, and the fast-ascending Perfect Beasts.

In the afternoon, Wolverhampton powerhouses Gin Annie, the sublimely talented Chantel McGregor, riff-driven rockers Brave Rival, and the fast and filthy Sleazy Money.

Behold more than 100 photos of Friday below. All images are captured by the ever-brilliant Lindsay Smith and Darren Griffiths.
