Wickham Festival News

Local & Unsigned Stages artists announced for 2018.

Along with all the incredible artists listed within on our Line Up pages we have loads of great new music to bring you. This is a feature of Wickham Festival we love to promote. We guarantee you’ll discover a band and leave Wickham with their music playing around in your head.

Here is the line up for our Local & Unsigned Stages at this year’s Wickham Festival.

Picking out artists to mention from this line up is tough, but this is a news posts so let’s try … Sunstreets is a Southampton based 4-piece band, originating from a solo project started by singer/songwriter Lisa Vibert. Now joined by Sam Turner on drums, Jamie Rendall on bass, and Matt Cook on lead guitar, their strong acoustic pop/rock roots draw inspiration from influences such as Bruce Springsteen, Stereophonics, Coldplay, and U2.

Our acoustic stage is always filled with some fantastic original music. Here’s a taste of what to expect.
