EXPLODING HEAD:
Hailing from North and West Cumbria. As proponents of shimmering grunge, this four piece creates a sound which is equal parts the fuzz-fuelled frenzy of Mudhoney and the sky-scraping introspection of Slowdive. Exploding Head were recognised at this year’s Kendal Calling festival, where the band received the inaugural Calling Out award for best emerging artist.
DRAGGED UP:
Dragged Up incorporate elements of garage-psych, art-punk, and noise rock. They have garnered acclaim from the Wire, SNACK mag, Record Collector and Louder Than War, and had airplay on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone, Radio Free Brooklyn, KEXP and WFMU. They’ve supported acts such as The Vaselines, Acid Mothers Temple, Charles Moothart (Fuzz/Ty Segall Band) and Stephen Malkmus’ band The Hard Quartet.
COUNT FLORIDA:
4-piece indie-pop band Count Florida featuring ex-members of The Hermit Crabs, Owls of Now and Shopping. They wiill be playing songs from their second album which is due to be released in 2026. Songs about friends they've lost and past relationships. With the addition of Eva on keys, get ready for some lovely vocal harmonies!
PLUS!

DJ commences 2pm / First band on at 2.30pm
