Born from the Madchester scene in the Nineties, indie icons The Charlatans are best known for hits such as The Only One I Know and One To Another and will perform choice cuts from their albums.

The Cribs have had four top ten albums in the past three years and won the NME’s Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 2013. They have racked up seven top 40 singles, including Men’s Needs, Mirror Kissers and Hey Scenesters.

Twice Mercury Prize nominated artist Ghostpoet, brings his dystopian lyrics, brooding electronica and alt-rock beats to the stage with tracks that’ll keep you on edge, including some from this year’s I Grow Tired But I Dare Not Fall Asleep album.

Fans of The Charlatans get a double hit of frontman Tim Burgess’s musical genius as he draws from five solo albums, including this year’s self-penned I Love the New Sky, released to rave reviews. Away from the main stage, expect a live version of his Tim’s Twitter Listening Parties, which have been lapped up by artists and music fans across the globe during the pandemic. Part travelling music venue, part coffee shop, fans will experience an intimate line up of music, talks and DJs.
