THE MAIN STAGE:

 a.P.A.t.T. 

a.P.A.t.T. are a one of a kind ensemble from Liverpool known for their avant-garde music, multimedia installation works and frantic live performance. Their diverse, innovative approach to music is as masterfully composed as it is wildly playful. Expect an unforgettable ride.

 ZENDEN GREENPURP 

Zenden Greenpurp are a psychedelic prog punk metal outfit pushing music to its limits through chaotic, shape-shifting compositions, theatrical and unpredictable vocals and fiercely intense live performances. Their captivatingly unhinged sound collides precision with madness, delivering a visceral live experience.

 LEGS ON WHEELS 

Blazing a trail of tripped-out rhythms, irresistible melodies and lush harmonic language, Legs On Wheels combines the spirit of punk, the heart of prog and the brains of jazz to create an alchemical beast that screams a clarion call for the misfits, the left-fielders, the other-side-of-the-fencers.

 THE MOP COLLECTIVE 

Canterbury's The Mop Collective are a new revelation in the world of underground prog. With pummelling riffs, complex rhythms and soaring energy, they will blow minds.

 THE SOUNDS OF URSA 

The brainchild of Bristol composer Helen Stanley, The Sounds of Ursa create ethereal cinematic pop that will spirit you away on an enchanting stream of healing and emotion.

 TRÈS PANATALON 

Have you ever heard of prog-funk? Neither had we until we discovered Norwich's Très Pantalon. Heavy horns and driving bass will have you grooving in all kinds of strange times you didn't think funkable.

Plus one more band to be announced soon!

THE ACOUSTIC STAGE:

Acoustic stage line-up to be announced soon!
