The Gulps
Arrow Stage"Music is everything,” says Harry All, singer and chief agitator of raging rock insurgents The Gulps, “but I’m also really into the spiritual thing of rock’n’roll. The alchemy, the magical thing, the fantasy thing. The mixture between fantasy and reality is the biggest thing in rock’n’roll. It’s a philosophy.”
Some kind of wild magic certainly drew these riot rock animals to the King’s House from four corners of Europe and the Middle East, hell-bound for fame and chaos. “We came here to be rock stars,” Harry explains. “Where else would we go? I knew when I was 15-years-old I needed to come to London and make this band.”

Wille & The Bandits
Arrow Stage, Music ActEssentially Wille and the Bandits is a classic blues rock band much in the vein of Cream or The Jimi Hendrix experience. But in a similar way to how these bands pushed the genre in their time, Wille and the Bandits try to take their sound beyond what is expected of such a traditional line up.
The use of more bizarre instrumentation and eclectic influences in the song writing often pushes them more into a world music or progressive category. Having toured with artists such as Deep Purple through to the John Butler trio and played major festivals across Europe, the band seem to leave an equally astounding impression on audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds with their energetic and soulful performances.
Captain Accident
Music Act, Arrow StageCaptain Accident is a reggae/ska/soul artist who creates a unique blend of rock-driven soulful roots reggae, ska, dub and rocksteady at his home studio in Cardiff.

With soulful vocals, soaring twin guitars and a truly infectious groove, there’s no standing still when Captain Accident and his clumsy companions hit the stage.
The Institutes
Arrow Stage, Music ActThe Institutes have wasted no time in becoming national radio’s favourite new Indie rock band, with support from BBC Radio 6 and Radio X catapulting them into the ears of music fans across the country. Formed in Coventry in 2018, this four-piece got to defining their sound in time for recording two sets worth of huge tracks, most of which you might hear The Institutes play on their US tour in 2021.
Sounding somewhere between New Order, The La ‘s and 80s band The Primitives, they bring along a much needed pick me up to these dark days.
Recalling to some extent the euphoric rush of The Las, the heartbeat of The Stone Roses and the melodies of The Lightning Seeds this is a band that relies on songs and they have a massive arsenal of killer tunes.
Stephen Lewis & The Big Band of Fun
Arrow Stage, Music ActAll the way from New Brunswick, Canada we welcome Stephen Lewis & The Big Band of Fun!

Zkeletonz
Arrow StageDescribed by Louder Than War as "a very seductive groove”, Zkeletonz were recently voted ‘Fresh Faves’ by BBC 6Music Listeners at Tom Robinson’s blog, who said the trio: “sound like disco never died, but rather flew away on a spaceship, and has now returned to take over the world.”
In 2022 their new 'IMPROVE YOUR GROOVE' E.P. has kicked off with 'Abracababra', a contagious, magic-themed pop song influenced by early 1980s electro-funk and as usual self-produced by the band themselves, who will also soon perform live at multiple major festivals in the UK, Malta and Ibiza.
This follows the 'Apocalypse Wow' E.P. by Zkeletonz which racked up 100,000 streams on Spotify with no label or management support, and previous festival appearances at All Points East, Alex James's Feastival, and 110 Above, alongside artists like Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Foals and Jamie XX.
