A powerhouse singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Norfolk, Lara has become a staple of the local alt rock scene. Fresh from stages like Latitude and First Light, she delivers an energetic fusion of alt-rock, indie, and pop-punk with her full band.
Ipswich duo The Frestonians (Peter and Wendy) blend punk energy with indie rock and new wave. Following award nominations from NMG and Radio Wigwam, the band has enjoyed a massive 2025 with heavy radio rotation for their string of successful new singles.
Monkey Foot Down are a newly formed band in Colchester. This guitar-and-drum duo features Gus and Deborah (ex-And I Meet You in Churches). Expect a raw, heavy wall of sound spanning punk, rock, and grunge.
Chris Asker The Askernbury festival organiser and Ipswich’s own "anti-punk hero" kicks off the night. He starts the evening with his signature acoustic singer-songwriter set.
