New or Young Acts Worth Checking Out

I'm really liking the sound of Seb Lowe.  And Yard Act.  Though I'm not sure if YA still count as new or not as I think they're pretty well known by now.

ARXX 

 

 

[Nutella Versace]

Fat Dog are excellent live

[mynameismatt]

I think Angie McMahon is going to be such a good way to start the festival in the Acoustic

Jada Star is superb.

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

The K’s, English Teacher, Sprints, Soccer Mommy, Lottery Winners, The Scratch, Mary in the Junkyard. All with some annoying clashes but hoping to catch most of them (and NewDad which is already on your list)

They certainly have!

Probably all repeats but i will be at as many lynks, lambrini girls and fat dog gigs as i can get to. They are probably my favourite 3 live acts of the last 2 years.

 

Another shout for big special, bob vylan.

 

dunno how small you want to go but for some unusual festival favourites you need to try wheel of four tunes, showhawk duo and the bar steward sons of val doonican. All hilarious! They are musical comedy rather than serious bands.

 

one thing you can guarantee at the festival is you will see something memorable on a small stage. Its never been all about the main stages and far too much emphasis is placed on them during the year round discourse.

Mannequin Pussy on Woodsies! Bonus points for great band name AND farm-themed music video.

Thank you and everyone else for the recommendations so far. Plenty to check out.

 

Yes as I get older I’m finding myself at the smaller stages a lot more for a more chilled out experience.

Angie McMahon, what a way to start the main music days!!
