Chris & Nick Johnson

Freshly Squeezed Stage

Welcoming brothers Chris & Nick Johnson to the lineup! 

In April 2015, Chris & Nick finally began working together and uploaded "Broken Hearts & Carpet Burns", a song written over a decade before, to BBC Introducing. The song was chosen for broadcast on Introducing H&W and they were honoured to be Artist of the Week less than a fortnight later. Chris & Nick recorded a live session for Introducing H&W at Colwall Family Music Festival in July 2015 and later that year were placed at No.6 in Andrew Marston's Top 10 of 2015/Hot For 2016 list in January 2016. This has been followed by further Introducing radio play on BBC H&W and BBC C&W, headline performances at folk clubs and support slots with Steve Knightley (of Show of Hands) and The Dunwells. Other projects have seen them play with Thunderclap Newman, tour with Big Country's Mark Brzezicki and most recently sell out Coventry Cathedral performing Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, as part of the Everything Under The Sun collective of musicians.

With their heartfelt lyrics, powerful tunes and strong sibling harmonies, we’re excited to welcome the duo to the Freshly Squeezed Stage! They’ll be opening the stage on Friday so make sure you’re there!

Reignmaker

Arrow Stage, Friday

Quickly rising up through the underground scene of their native Liverpool, passionate indie quintet Reignmaker have already established a distinctive style. They channel their youthful spirit and charismatic scouse personalities to create a sound that radiates an uplifting optimism. Combining swelling rock and roll textures with soaring vocal chorus’ and lyrics filled with a striking poignancy, their sound is one that is impossible to ignore.

Tipped by BBC Introducing, the band have quickly become one of the most hotly anticipated young bands in the North West and they are only just getting started! Catch them on the Arrow Stage, Friday afternoon!

Friday's Theme!

Friday, Activity Village, Fancy Dress

TIGHT, BRIGHT NEON LIGHTS

Hello Friday night RAVERS! Your Friday theme is ‘Tight, Bright Neon Lights’. Think 90s rave with 80s fashion. The bigger, the bolder, the better. Night will fall, the DJs will take charge and your UV paint will illuminate the dance floor. Glow sticks at the ready, kiddos.
