Modessa
Hailing from the south coast of England, headliners Modessa have made a name for themselves as an emerging force within Brighton's grassroots scene. Their sound, powered by heavy riffs, distinct vocals, and punchy drumbeats, is infused with blues-rock grooves, pop-style lyricism, and grunge-esque raw energy.
Matisse
Matisse Moretti is an English/French songwriter whose hook-driven earworms and timeless pop sensibilities paired with his ethereal backing band, have earned him a reputation as a captivating performer in the Brighton Indie scene.
Kitchen Lover
The decade was the 1950s; The Chats & Dead Kennedys were in a thriving monogamous relationship and decided it was the right time to birth a child. Said child would then grow up to start the 50’s punk revolution, carving their sound out of raw garage riffs and poppy hooks. Conceived in the kitchen, they thought it was only right to name their child, Kitchen Lover.
Paul Turvey will be delivering a high-energy acoustic set accompanied by guitarist Paul Feesey.
