Liift presents CQ WRESTLING plus support live at The Dome
CQ Wrestling are a British grunge band led by Charlie Woods and Jake Mac, delivering a fierce yet melodic sound that confronts social and political unrest while offering moments of euphoric escape. Their new album, Resistance, was born from a year of “complete mayhem, mess and chaos” following a devastating loss that turned both Woods and Mac’s worlds upside down.
At the heart of Resistance is a simple saying: “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” It’s a sentiment that runs through the album’s sonic assault, a record shaped by grief, upheaval and the determination to push back against the world around them. CQ Wrestling channel that turbulence into explosive guitars, raw emotion and melodies that cut through the noise.
That same intensity defines their live shows. Known for chaotic, high energy performances, the band have built a devoted following across three sold out UK tours, a standout appearance at Glastonbury 2025 and performances at major European festivals.
With their UK headline tour dates continuing this month, CQ Wrestling are bringing the uncompromising energy of Resistance to stages across the country.
