We are very pleased to make our first announcements of 2018.

Billy Bragg will headline on June 2nd with a spectacular show at Wakefield Cathedral. He’ll be joined by King Creosote and Charlotte Hatherley (performing her new album with video projection accompaniment – you may know her amazing work with Ash and Bat For Lashes). We’re thrilled to have The Lovely Eggs return, Indie legends CUD join us for the first time (well, you did all keep asking) and Helen Marnie (Ladytron) will add to the expanded electro vibe of 2018.

Of course, we have lots of emerging artists for you too, such as Mush, Drahla and Team Picture and the performances will be spread across the city centre – we’ve announced ten venues so far. There is more info on all our performers here and you can check out a Spotify playlist featuring them all here.

There is alot more to come, with announcements for our Friday and Sunday events + at least 50 more performers for the Saturday. We can’t wait to share more, but this isn’t a bad start, right?
