Hide AdJoining them will be legendary English mod revival/punk rock band From The Jam who also played Millennium Square back in 2019. The band is led by original ‘The Jam’ frontman Bruce Foxton and Russell Hastings.
Formed in 2007, they have performed the bands original back catalogue of classic songs to sold out shows across the country. Also joining the bill is English Ska band The Hotknives who will perform their catalogue of songs including the live favourites ‘Holsten Boys’, ‘Don’t Go Away’ and `Skin Up Harry’.
Proving that the mod scene is still very much thriving is brand-new mod revival band Block 33. They will bring their charging punk rhythms and quintessentially British rasping yet melodic vocals to the stage.
Gates for the festival will open from 3.30pm with the first band due to perform at 4pm. A licensed bar, catering and toilet facilities will be available on site.
