Alien Ant Farm

Alien Ant Farm play Stylus, Lifton Place, Leeds, on 3 November 2026. Formed in Riverside, California in 1996, the band shaped a blend of alternative rock, alternative metal and a touch of funk, led by singer Dryden Mitchell and drummer Mike Cosgrove. After an early indie run, their 2001 album ANThology pushed them onto international stages with heavy guitars, melodic hooks and nods to pop culture. TruANT (2003), produced by Robert and Dean DeLeo, leaned further into alt rock, before the group regrouped after a serious 2002 bus accident. Up in the Attic (2006) closed their first chapter, followed by a return to the studio with Always and Forever (2015). In 2024, Mantras confirmed a band still writing riff-led songs built for the stage.

For Leeds, expect a set that scans their catalogue, from early‑2000s tracks to recent cuts, carried by tight rhythms, muscular guitars and choruses built to stick. Alien Ant Farm play as a live unit first, relying on chemistry shaped by years on the road and a direct, no-frills delivery.
