Closing out London’s Gunnersville Festival on Sunday, 8 September is a stacked lineup of You Me At Six, The Maine, Jimmy Eat World, Deaf Havana, Sundara Karma, As It Is and MILK TEETH! For those that may not be familiar with the lineup, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered on what you can expect from each of the bands this year.
You Me At Six
At the very top of the bill, You Me At Six will be using their headlining slot to do something they have never done before. Showcasing how far their band has come over the years since forming in 2004, You Me At Six’s set will feature all of their singles, playing them all in chronological order. This means you can expect to hear songs such as “Save It For The Bedroom,” “Bite My Tongue” and their newly released single “What’s It Like.”
The Maine
Having just released their brand new album, You Are OK, this past spring, fans can expect The Maine to play a slew of new tracks off of their new release including “Numb Without You” and “Bad Habits” as well as old favourites including “Taxi” and “Like We Did.” Known for their charismatic performance filled with guitar-driven tracks, this is one set you don’t want to miss!
Jimmy Eat World
As a band that has been around for over two decades, fans can expect a very special performance from Jimmy Eat World. Along with new tracks from their latest album, Integrity Blues, you can bet that “The Middle,” their most popular tune, will be included in their headlining set!
Deaf Havana
Norfolk-based band Deaf Havana has been making waves since the release of their latest album, Rituals, that was released last year. Touring extensively since its release, Deaf Havana has continued to live up to their reputation as one of the best live bands in the genre right now, something that is only destined to be proven again during their performance at this year’s Gunnersville!
Sundara Karma
After their recent album, Ulfilas’ Alphabet, debuted with critical acclaim this past March, Sundara Karma’s unique take on the indie pop/rock genre translates greatly into their live performance. With frontman Oscar “Lulu” Pollock’s captivating stage presence and, usually, very unique stage outfits, Sundara Karma’s set is not one to miss if you are looking for a unique and thrilling live music experience you’ve never seen before.
As It Is
Brighton-based rock band As It Is bring one of the most uniquely energetic performances that cannot be ignored. With a set most likely to include many tracks off of their latest release, The Great Depression, all of you emo-rock loving fans will definitely want to check out this set and see why they are one of the most talked about bands in the genre right now.
MILK TEETH
You can bet British punk band MILK TEETH will bring one of the most chaotic performances of the entire day. With powerful vocals from frontwoman Becky Blomfield, MILK TEETH will put on a set unlike anything else on the lineup so make sure to get there early and watch them open the whole day up!
Along with the incredible lineup, Gunnersville is also asking you to go green with them! All of the food at the festival will be served on compostable containers with wooden cutlery, all drinks will be served in paper cups and all water bottles are made from recycled plastic! There will also be plenty of free water filling stations around the festival grounds so make sure to bring your reusable water and stay hydrated in the sunny summer weather!
