Cheap Dirty Horse
Cheap Dirty Horse are a big rowdy queer trash folk-punk band from Nottingham. Blending acoustic and electric guitar with banjo, accordion, bass, drums, and sometimes mandolin, they write energetic, joyful protest music. They sing about trans rights, dead billionaires, and the importance of doing the things you love. They sing about grief, washing machines, and stealing shit. Angry, but always empowering.

Championed by the likes of Clash, DIY, Dork, Line Of Best Fit with multiple BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music plays, the band have toured and played shows alongside Kaiser Chiefs, Darwin Deez, Goat Girl and Courting as well as picking up a bunch of UK and EU festivals and playing SXSW in 2023.

Sidney&Matilda Presents: Snazzback
Snazzback’s electrifying chemistry has wowed audiences at Ronnie Scott’s, festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown & Shambala and gained support from BBC Radio heavyweights including Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova and Jamie Cullum. Snazzback's music is a collage, collectively constructed, torn up and glued back together in unexpected ways, bringing a renewed, daring energy to UK dance music. The 7-piece embrace their experimental beginnings to create a sound fusing abstract beats with spiralling improvisation. Their music is soaked in influences including interlocking West African rhythms, rootsy Brazilian flavours, sprawling soundscapes, deep dubstep basslines and flickering arpeggiators. A collaborative instinct runs through the group, and an eclectic choice of vocalists keeps their compositions shimmering with new possibilities."
‘Absolutely brilliant, I even did a wheel up, absolutely in love with that’ - Jamz Supernova BBC 6music

Electric Tape Recorder — Absurd, shambolic, dark, wonky, strange and understatedly catchy psych-garage music.
Hopeful Dream Cult — Sheffield psych trippers who paint jet-black kaleidoscopic soundscapes.

FREE ENTRY
Information from the organisers
KING EFFERS (SHEFFIELD PUNKY REGGAE) - HEADLINERS
https://www.facebook.com/p/King-Effers-100063586809921/
In 2019, having got fed up with censorship and silly social media algorithms, Sheffield’s long standing politico-punks The F*kwits changed their name to King Effers, perhaps a little easier on the tongue.
Mr Keef and Chris (The F*kwits) were joined by Tank (Freekspert) on drums, and Muzz (Artery/Faerground Accidents) on bass. With a love of all things punk, reggae and rocksteady it was only a matter of time before the sound turned into a highly-charged punky reggae party.
Having toured the UK and Germany and negotiated the perils and pitfalls of the covid lockdowns, the band finally managed to procure enough studio time and complete the recordings of what would become the first King Effers album entitled ‘Soap Box’, to be released on Holy Dotage Records on Dec 1st 2023
Line up:
Mr Keef – Vocals & Guitar
Guitar Chris – Guitar & B-Vocals
Muzz – Bass & B-Vocals
Tank – Drums & Percussion.

Jarred Up Presents: KEG
Jarred Up Presents: KEG
Erupting from a frenzied passion for the ‘song’, Keg toe a fine line between the angular throb of contemporary post-rock sensibilities and a timeless necessity for harmony and meticulous songwriting. Taking hints and tips from their forebears Minutemen, Fugazi and Radio 4 the band intend to confound genre, but mainly stick to the rock arena.
Armed with 7 musicians, Keg creates a frantic chaotic energy. Barbed guitars, wonky synth lines, peppered with trombone, and a glimpse into a confused man’s brain. The band rarely rest easy on one approach, equally happy to explore a college rock sound as a hardcore one. Its this indecision which leads Keg to continue to push their sound further, delving into ambient landscapes and melodic songwriting.
It is the live arena, where KEG is understood best, they’ve earnt their stripes at Greenman (Big Top), Latitude (Sunrise Arena), Sur Le Sac (CH), Sacred Ground (DE), End of The Road (Big Top), Dour Festival (BE), Vida Festival (ES) and built a loyal following of fans across the UK and Europe.
The band have released two critically acclaimed EPs ‘Assembly’ (2021) and ‘Girders’ (2022), garnering attention from Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork, So Young and support from BBC radio 6 and Radio X. DIY are real champions of the band, awarding them a slot in their prestigious Class of 2023.
They return with their anxiously awaited debut ‘Fun’s Over’ early 2025, and the chaos will ensue.

Lucy Dreams doesn't just perform; they craft an experience for the senses, captivating ears, enchanting eyes, and stirring hearts in unison."
David Grubb- Circadia
Information from the organisers
Step into the sonic world of Circadia, a dream fuelled journey through the human subconscious charting a typical sleep cycle. Moving through the sleep phases, we encounter strange phenomena such as exploding head syndrome, somnambulism, and lucid dreaming, all via a genre-hopping six piece of violin, clarinet, keys, guitar, bass and drums.
Earwig Presents: Menstrual Cramps
Formed in a broken bedroom in Bristol, on the verge of homelessness, and rife with anger, The Menstrual Cramps were born. Politics on the brain and injustices surrounding them, they jumped ship to a dive in London and recorded their debut album ‘We’re Not Ovaryacting’ on distorted acoustic guitars, calling on the world to ‘Save the Badgers’, and ‘Cull the Tories’. Their debut music video for ‘My Bush Ain’t Ur Business’ was removed from YouTube after some trolls reared their ugly heads and didn’t want people to reclaim their own breasts or bodies.
The Menstrual Cramps are now taking 2024 by storm, having signed with Alcopop! Records, and releasing their first single in five years, ‘Body Politics’, shouting about the need for true gender liberation in society, ‘Abortion’, demanding the right to safe abortions for all, and their latest hit single 'Class War', encouraging everyone to join a union and hold their workplace accountable. As always, The Menstrual Cramps still aren’t here to take your sh*t!

Jarred Up Presents: Silverbacks
Jarred Up Presents: Silverbacks
Band from Ireland. Archive Material, our new album, is out now.
After all the years building up to it, Silverbacks are kicking down the door with a debut full of direct, immediate songs that refuse to be forgotten. And from there, from all those tightly arranged songs, you can already hear how much room they have to spread out — from old sounds, from Dublin and genre signifiers, just unspooling out into a strain of art-punk-glam-slacker-pop that only belongs to Silverbacks. - Stereogum ‘Fad’ is an excellent example of how a debut should be done. - DIY Magazine 'Try to follow the thread of those guitars. It’s impossible. Twisting, turning and transforming like Optimus Prime in a sticky-floored club.' - NME
