In addition to the live acts, Twisterella will feature an Unconference with the focus on bringing key music industry figures to the town to share their expertise and offer advice to new and developing Teesside musicians.

Twisterella has previously played host to established acts such as Sam Fender, Pip Blom, Dream Wife, Benefits, Clean Cut Kid and The Howl & The Hum, whilst the festival's co-promoters have a proven track record bringing emerging talent to the region having promoted shows for the likes of The 1975, Wolf Alice, Alt-J, Daughter and many more as they were breaking.
