Taking place across three venues, all within three minutes walk of each other, and with over fifty acclaimed bands performing live, ticket holders won't be disappointed with the entertainment on offer. Friday night will see headliners Deaf Havana taking control of the crowds at The Foundry, whilst Saturday night's top spot is taken by punk rock quintet, Trash Boat. Other notable names appearing over the weekend include Tigercub, Vukovi, Static Dress, Harbinger, Dream Nails and underground heroes the likes of Orchards and Slow Crush.

When the lights come on and all is said and done, make your way to the festival's official afterparty - an event in its own right featuring El Moono and Cage Fight. Join the south coast’s finest DJ’s, take advantage of the exclusive drinks offers and keep the party going way into the early hours.
