Huge Weekend of Live Music

Described by Tom Robinson (BBC6Music) as being “like the love-child of Steel Pulse, Kate Tempest and The Sleaford Mods”, his music brings together powerful messages, infectious reggae rhythms and the lyrical delivery of a skilled MC.

Karl Phillips and the Rejects have been spreading the punk/grime vibe from legendary underground London haunts and 02 Academies to festivals such as Boomtown, Rebellion, Bestival and Secret Garden Party, and as far as summer sound in Latvia and Montaurock in the south of France.

Voodoo Sioux are a 4 piece, bass-driven hard rock outfit from the Midlands. During the 90s, constant gigging led to a hardcore fanbase and supports with Terrorvision and Little Angels. With their last album, ‘Grotesque Familiares’ receiving rave reviews, extensive radio play and their must-see dynamic live shows, Voodoo Sioux are back with a bang!

What starts off as a classy folk concert quickly mutates into a rollicking clash of pulsating sound clouds that reverberates throughout the concert hall. The Uptown Monotones are known for consistently serving up musical surprises. Their repertoire features a fresh mix of off-beat, driving pop songs, unique cover versions and a barrage of electronic and ethno-inspired improvisational performances.

Mighty Vipers are an eight-piece party machine from the north of England, spanning from Barnsley to Shrewsbury. A composite of brass band culture mixed with the protest activism of punk rock, driven forward with a reggae-inspired groove. Support comes from Panda Lasagne + The Crash Mats.
