Show 8:30pm Cornerstone Presents: KELSY KARTER & THE HEROINES With FRANKIE & THE STUDS Hailing from the vibrant confluence of British grit and Australian charm, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines have stormed the global music scene with an electrifying blend of rebellious rock ’n’roll and unbridled creativity. Formed five years ago, this dynamic four-piece is spearheaded by the unapologetic Kelsy Karter, whose fiery persona and theatrical roots set the stage for the band’s thrilling rise in modern rock. Kelsy Karter, an Australian theatre kid turned rock frontwoman, leads the charge with a blend of potty- mouthed charm and heartfelt sincerity. Known for her audacious approach to self-promotion, Kelsy has become a media sensation for her innovative and often outrageous marketing stunts. TIME magazine once drew comparisons between her and rock icons like Ozzy Osbourne and Alice Cooper. Her fearless attitude toward online hate and her advocacy for self-expression and anti-bullying have made her a powerful and influential voice both on and off the stage. The band’s core is completed by the inseparable English trio of lead guitarist Matt Peach, drummer Sebastian Boyse, and bassist Tommy Gent. Hailing from Derby, England, these three have been friends since childhood and share an undeniable chemistry that fuels their explosive performances. Their combined talents create a rich, guitar-drenched sound steeped in glam rock, soul and ’80s punk, offering a musical experience that is both timeless and contemporary. Their debut album, Missing Person, was a critical triumph, marking the band as a unique force in modern rock and earning the distinction of “The Album Rolling Stone Recommends” in Rolling Stone’s print issue the month following its release. With over 800k followers across social media platforms, The Heroines have built a digital circus of live performances, comedy skits, and touring anecdotes. Their social media presence is as electric as their music, showcasing the band’s cheek, charm, and Kelsy’s candid advice on embracing one’s true self. Kelsy Karter & The Heroines recently unleashed their sophomore album, Love Made Me Do It - a fiery, emotional rock opera that dives headfirst into love, chaos, and redemption. The record cements their reputation as one of the most exciting and theatrical forces in rock today. Having toured extensively across the globe as headliners, the band has also shared the stage with rock legends including Billy Idol, The Cult, and Halestorm, earning acclaim for their explosive live energy and unapologetic authenticity. Endorsement deals with Monster Energy, Shure, Fender, and Taylor Guitars further attest to their growing prominence. As they continue to headline tours, support rock icons past and present, and ignite festival stages worldwide, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines remain at the forefront of rock music - proving that when the front door slams and the back door’s locked, they’ll always find a way through the window.
