SPINN

YOUTH CLUB

LOCATION: Southend-On-Sea
FOR FANS OF: Will Joseph Cook, Eliza and the Bear, The Hunna
STAGE: Commune Stage
WHY: Combine the greatness of pop’s biggest songs, the funk grooves from the 70s and a slight alt edge, and then you’re close to describing Youth Club. If you’re looking for a dance, or just to be blown away, these guys have your back. 




HEY CHARLIE

LOCATION: London
FOR FANS OF: Wolf Alice, Husky Loops, Anteros, Yonaka 
STAGE: Commune Stage
WHY: These rock princesses are sure to prove to you just why they’re being spoken about a lot recently. From the innocent assertiveness portrayed in ‘Hey’, to the 90s grunge influences they follow in ‘Love Machine’, it’s a definite that Hey Charlie will give you the grit, the pugnacious behaviour and a whole load of chaos.



PATAWAWA

LOCATION: Matlock
FOR FANS OF: Jungle, early Calvin Harris, Ronika 
STAGE: Gospall Stage
WHY: If you’re a fan of the synth groove that came soaring out of the 80s, or maybe the electro soul that merges out of Mele’s music, Patawawa are the ones for you. Embracing the world of music, the trio take sections from so many genres and mash them together to create one big spectacle that is going to have the ground below you rattling, leaving you no option but to move. 





ONLY THE POETS 

LOCATION: Reading + London
FOR FANS OF: Saint Raymond, Ten Tonnes, Coasts 
STAGE: Old Town Hall Stage
