Howdy,

We're very excited to announce the 8 bands chosen to play this years festival from our open application process.

We really love selecting new and unsigned bands to play every year and to be able to support all the great new music out there.

Been listening to the Mountains & The Trees on Spotify - good choice

Meursault is a welcome addition but I'm finding this year's line-up pretty underwhelming compared to previous years and this year's Green man, so am hoping to find some good stuff amongst the bands I don't know. Any recommendations appreciated....
