FIRST LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT
DIRTYGEAR (Cambridge)
A high-energy punk/alt rock band formed by four 18-year-olds fed up with meaningless, emotionless music. Their shows deliver pure carnage and powerful songs tackling today’s world and real youth experiences. DirtyGear stands for unity, empowerment and positive change.
THE MANDRILLS (Blackpool)
One of the most exciting bands to emerge from Blackpool in years. Tipped for greatness and heavily talked about on the grassroots circuit. A future household name in the making.
RIVIA (Liverpool)
A four-piece pop-punk / alt-rock band blending early 2000s nostalgia with a modern edge. Infectious hooks, driving guitars and explosive live shows have earned them a fast-growing national fanbase.
BETH ELIZA
A soulful folk-pop songwriter influenced by Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and Ed Sheeran. Known for captivating vocals, BBC Cambridge 105 radio features and live performances across Suffolk.
Plus: PIECES, SILENT ROGUES. More acts to be announced soon.
The home of rock n' roll for Cambridgeshire.
