DO NOT MISS:
After recently witnessing them stun the crowd at Multitude Festival in Milton Keynes with their demonically possessed post-punk. A dark basement in Manchester feels an apt spiritual home for
The Sick Man of Europe. Prepare to get very up close and personal with the London based gloom merchants as they exorcise the crowd ready for the day’s proceedings.
Melodic musings from the South London trio led by Anouska Sokolow.
Her astute lyrical observations have garnered them widespread acclaim and their main stage set in the mid afternoon sun at Truck festival this summer was a personal highlight.
What a fucking name. A welcome dose of indie-art-rock from the Brooklyn based couple Richard Orofino and Pearl Amanda Dickson fresh from their set at All Points East in London.
ASBO faves closing out the This is FAC251 stage in their adopted home town. This set is guaranteed to go hard as Davey, Ollie and Ben pummel and groove their way through 45 minutes of the most danceable disco-rock that will get the statues in Albert Square jiving.
Less a recommendation and more of a ‘see you there’. Witness for yourself why Getdown Services
have been everyone’s festival highlight this summer.
Additional artists confirmed including much-loved Jadu Heart, a debut show from Working Men’s Club’s Sydney Minsky Sargeant and super-hyped Radio Free Alice.
The festival organiser have also launched a new programme, supported by Arts Council England’s Grassroots Grant. The programme, which provides a platform to five Grassroots artists to perform at Manchester Psych Fest, this years winners are: Zo Lief, Wyatt, Puppy Teeth, Lana Death Ray, Twin Flames.
