šŸŒžAn experience that will hold you in reflection and shake your body and soul!! šŸŒž

Our live music stage opens with a discussion focussing on ā€˜Resistance Through Culture’ facilitated by the fantastic @jessrosauk .

This moment of shared thought will be followed by an invitation for reflection with the moving ambient sounds of @sophiaharari taking you on journey of spoken word and melting melodies.

We’ll hit you straight in the eardrums with our opening band, the queer FLINTA 5-piece @thedirtylooksband !! Touching on flavours of psychedelic, goth and 60s pop rock, this band will have you transfixed whilst you move!

We’re stripping it back with our next two artists šŸƒ

@blythe.bentley brings you calming vocals that force you to follow her along her melodies.

The tone of @jenniferdala will pull you into a space of connection to yourself as she explores the challenges of knowing oneself through her raw lyricism.

New to the scene @earwiggggg will be blessing our ears with ethereal tones and harmonies.

As we step into our final artists of the night, the limitless reneestormz redefines what it means to blend genres creating the unexpected at every turn!

Taking us into the darker hours it’s the duo we know and love - @flowersofevil.wav . The Catalan-Mancunian test tube of dance-pop brings campy theatrics and irresistible euro-cheese which will have you ass shaking and limbs!

Produced by @diwenao this stage will bring you down for the stillness and stay for the movement!!! by @withingtonpride
