Call of the Wild Festival and Blackstar Amplification aren’t just partners, they’re a powerhouse alliance that has shaped the sound, spirit, and swagger of our festival since 2019. From the moment Blackstar first joined our journey, they’ve stood shoulder‑to‑shoulder with us, championing new talent, supporting our artists, and amplifying (literally) the independent rock community we’re so proud to represent.

Over the years, countless COTW performers have fallen in love with Blackstar’s unmistakable tone, many going on to buy their own rigs or even earn full Blackstar endorsements. That’s not coincidence. That’s a testament to a brand that backs musicians, invests in grassroots scenes, and consistently delivers gear that punches way above its weight.

And now, it’s your turn.

We’re giving fans an exclusive chance to experience the magic for themselves with a competition centred around Blackstar’s mighty little practice amps. Don’t be fooled by their size, these compact beasts are built to roar. Whether you’re shredding your favourite riffs, writing new material, or just jamming along to the tracks that shaped you, these amps deliver the kind of tone that makes you stop, grin, and turn the volume up just a bit more.

This is more than a giveaway. It’s an invitation to plug into the same sound world that has powered our stages for years, a sound we proudly endorse and a partnership we’re honoured to celebrate.

Get ready to hear what these amps can really do. Your next great tone might be just one lucky win away.
