SLOWTHAI
Fresh off the back of his Brexit Bandit UK and European tour, the UK’s fieriest new rapper is set to take a match to this year’s festival season, bringing (more often than not topless) chaos from Glastonbury to Primavera and everywhere in between. He’s bound to exit the summer as a superstar.
BE THERE:
SLOWTHAI plays Primavera Sound (29th May - 2nd June), Glastonbury (26th 30th June), Down The Rabbit Hole (5th - 7th July), Lovebox (12th - 13th July), Melt! (19th - 21st July), Kendal Calling (25th - 28th July), Øya (6th 10th August), Boomtown (7th - 11th August), Lost Village (22nd - 26th August) and Reading & Leeds (23rd 25th August).
STELLA DONNELLY
As her new tour poster states, Stella has finally found some friends! Touring with a band for the first time, and with debut album ‘Beware Of The Dogs’ in her back pocket, the Aussie is set to make her mark on 2019’s festival season, her tongue-in-cheek social commentary winning over crowds the world over. Don’t miss it.
BE THERE:
STELLA DONNELLY plays Liverpool Sound City (3rd - 5th May), Vida (4th - 6th July), Boomtown (7th - 11th August), Haldern Pop (8th - 10th August), Green Man (15th-18th August), End Of The Road (29th August - 1st September) and Golden Leaves (31st August - 1st September).
S C HO OL ’S SPORTS TEAM
Fresh from a wild London headline at Electric Ballroom and a hedonistic run through this year’s SXSW, Sports Team are garnering a growing reputation as a fantastic, chaotic live band that can turn even the most placid of crowds into a fervent, sweaty, moshy mess. They did just that at the likes of Truck and Reading & Leeds last year, and their 2019 festival season could be when they really show their teeth.
BE THERE:
SPORTS TEAM play Live At Leeds (4th May), Hit The North (5th May), Best Kept Secret (31st May - 2nd June), Loose Ends (23rd June), Rock Werchter (27th - 30th June), Tramlines (19th - 21st July), Y Not (25th - 28th July), Kendal Calling (25th-28th July), Truck (26th - 28th July), Hardwick Live (17th-18th August) and Reading & Leeds (23rd - 25th August).
