PATTI SMITH:
Nothing short of legendary, Patti Smith ranks amongst the most ambitious, unconventional, and inspiring rock and rollers of all time. Patti's unapologetic and iconic New Yorker identity makes her a sure-fire rebel, and no doubt, the 'Godmother of Punk'.

From seasoned busker and street poet/performer beginnings, Smith launched to fame with debut album Horses, followed by the timeless Because the Night and Easter, full to the brim with post-punk anger and incredible song writing.

Besides being a musician, performer and writer, Smith is also an accomplished visual artist. Her multi-faceted creativity is captured in her unforgettable memoirs Just Kids and M Train.

Fusing rock and poetry with complete command of her stage, Patti's music has firmly held on to its timelessness. When Patti Smith sings, people listen.

NADINE SHAH:
Nadine Shah's critically acclaimed, and Mercury-nominated, album Holiday Destination saw her at her most political yet and continues to speak out for causes she believes strongly in her brooding and jazz-kissed indie rock. Her most recent album Kitchen Sink continues her trademark social commentary.

SPELLLING:
SPELLLING's familiar bewitching vocal style emphasizes the theatrical and folkloric themes of her songwriting. Her 2021 album Turning Wheel is nothing short of evolution for the artist, branching out from her primarily synth-based sound on a magical, grand, and genre-less adventure. A very rare UK appearance from a much-awaited artist.

CONNIE CONSTANCE:
A refreshingly frank storyteller with an up-to-date indie-rock sound, Connie Constance makes music that accurately reflects herself, and defies simple classification.

NABIHAH IQBAL:
Praised highly for her debut release, NTS presenter Nabihah fuses electronic soundscapes with reverb-drenched vocals to create a unique and spellbinding take on indie music.

JOVIALE:
North London based multidisciplinary artist Joviale makes otherworldly, immersive music that plays with equal parts restraint and rage. High vocals and heady, emotional chord progressions weave a screen around the audience, drawing them in with every note.

World-class DJs will keep the party flowing, as well as indoor workshops, to be announced next month, all accompanied by fully stocked bars and delicious food stalls
