This year’s lineup will feature 30 live shows spanning a wide range of genres, including rock, pop, indie and more, offering audiences the opportunity to discover the next generation of breakthrough artists. The festival will open on Thursday 9th July with a headline performance from Marigold, before concluding on Saturday 29th August with Sean Choon and The Prawn Monsoon. Additional performances throughout the festival will come from Öpaque, Val Mavis, angelface and Lupercalia, alongside many more rising acts from across the grassroots music scene.
