Revenant and Ross Harding share one stage for one night only. Dark Blues Revival is a growing movement built around one belief — that Blues, Southern Rock and Roots music still has the power to stop a room cold. This exciting co-headline brings together two compelling bands for a night of serious live music at Kola, Portsmouth.
Formed in 2023, Revenant hit the ground running with their debut EP and single 'The Masquerade', drawing favourable comparisons to Chris Cornell, Alter Bridge and Black Stone Cherry.
Their 2025 releases landed them in Classic Rock Magazine's Tracks of the Week and earned a 9/10 from Overtone Magazine. Influences spanning Guns N' Roses, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackberry Smoke through to Metallica all show live. Having toured with US Southern Rock royalty Preacher Stone and played festivals including Maid of Stone and Firevolt, these southern UK rockers are firmly on the map.
South African-born, UK-based and impossible to ignore, Ross Harding has carved out a sound he calls Dark Blues — cinematic, groove-driven, atmospheric and emotionally charged.
Blending the soul of traditional Blues with the weight of modern Rock, Harding is a featured artist in Blues In Britain Magazine, an IBBA chart regular, and a veteran of The Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival. His reputation is built on the music and nothing else.
This is a genuine co-headline — Revenant and Ross Harding each deliver a full headline set, not a support slot and a main act. Two complete shows for one ticket, from the swagger of Southern Rock to the slow-burn intensity of Dark Blues.
Kola is a standing venue of around 200 capacity with a serious sound system and proper stage production. There is no bad spot in the house — you will be close enough to see every string bend and feel every kick drum.
Dark Blues Revival nights attract people who come for the music — fans of Black Stone Cherry, Rival Sons, Joe Bonamassa and classic Southern Rock who want it live, loud and up close. Arrive early, grab a drink and settle in.
