The Pale White

Lakeside Stage

In a musical landscape that continues to proudly proclaim the death of modern rock music, The Pale White have consistently proved that this couldn’t be further from the truth. Hailing from Newcastle in the UK, the three piece containing brothers Adam and Jack Hope and friend Tom Booth, have spent the last few years fanning the flames of a rapidly growing and loyal fan base. Breaking out of their home town with appearances at prestigious festivals such as Glastonbury Festival and Reading and Leeds, whispers of their energetic and impassioned live performances have began spreading across the UK and Europe, which has seen crowds fall for their thunderous and unapologetically anthemic take on rock music. Further bolstered by seal of approval support slots from modern rock figureheads such as Foals, Sam Fender, The Amazons, The Libertines and Twin Atlantic, it’s just a matter of time before a mainstream audience proclaims them their own. Teaming up with acclaimed producer Jolyon Thomas (Royal Blood, U2, Slaves), the bands anticipated debut album ‘Infinite Pleasure’ is set for release on April 23rd. The album includes latest singles “Take Your Time”, “Glue”, “Confession Box” and a rework of their 2016 demo “That Dress” which have seen the band usher in a new chapter.

Uncle Funk's Disco Inferno

The Novus

Lakeside Stage, Music Act

Legends around these parts, if you caught The Novus last year, you know you’re in for a treat!
Art-Punk band - The Novus are their own breed of excitement.

Born and raised in the Black Country & Birmingham, they live at the heart of what was once the industrial revolution. No strangers to crafting themselves, The Novus have created and defined a genre all of their own - combining all the finest aspects of their favourite music they have concocted a political psychedelia & art punk like never before. And supplying a somewhat nostalgic yet unfamiliar image with unrivalled hair and eye makeup. Battling the stereotypes of masculinity and prejudice towards their fellow ‘lefty snowflakes’. A voice for millennials, by millennials.
