Full tournament (gold medal), Rumble (silver medal) and side event (TBC)
Open arena from 19:35 - have a go on a robot yourself

Eli Gumble
The night's host and a pretty good singer-songwriter, making some very unique songs. Prepare your bingo cards for looped guitar, heavy overdrive, crazy-sounding ringer pedals, stylophone solos, prop comedy, softer acoustic ballads and completely off-the-wall synthpop, J-pop and reggaeton songs with dance routines. Lyrics have received praise for their thoughtful crafting. You have to see it to understand it and this is the best place to see it.
