With a stacked selection of artists already confirmed, organisers added seven more acts to the lineup over the weekend.

 

The selection is spearheaded by Scalping, combining noise, metal and industrial techno with disturbing visuals, the four-piece have garnered a reputation in recent years for their spellbinding live setup.

 

The Bristol-based band will be joined by New Zealand’s dream-pop outfit Mild Orange, Scottish garage rockers Cheap Teeth, singer-songwriter Phil Madeley, lo-fi indie group Sancho Panza, Mancunian three-piece Fruit Tones and art-punk buzz band Eades.

Secondary headliners include left-field pop/rap group NiNE8 collective, Avant-folk singer-songwriter Jane Weaver, punk-grime duo Bob Vylan (pictured below), Irish noise/trip-hop outfit Just Mustard, electronic two-piece Jockstrap and indie rock band FEET.

 

The festival undercard, too, boasts a heap of exciting artists. Highlights include Hull-based shoegaze band bdrmm, South London trio Honeyglaze, fuzz-pop rockers Island of Love, erratic punks Keg, trip-hop group Nukuluk and Brighton quartet Lime Garden.

 

Local acts for the Nottingham festivals have already been confirmed, meaning that a Bristol announcement is just around the corner. 

Traditionally a mix of local and non-local artists have been spread around the city’s multitude of venues, including O2 Academy Bristol, Bristol Beacon, Thekla, The Louisiana, The Fleece, The Lanes and Rough Trade Bristol.
