LOOPFEST in the Quarry

Kev is a man of many hats, vinyl DJ? Tick. ‘Come Dine with Me’ contestant? Tick x 2. Magician who manages to wow both the kiddies and the parentals? BIG FAT TICK.

Ego Friendly could win an award for playing the longest, most kick-ass cover sets in world history. They can’t at Loopfest, as we’re on a tight schedule. But! These guys are one of the best cover bands in the Midlands with a truly infectious energy.

Mighty Vipers are a great take on all the bits of the ska story from Rocksteady and Calypso to Punk Ska. Also great lyrics and melodies – Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music.

Punk/funk. You remember that genre? Back in the 2000s when we had The Rapture had us all banging our cowbells at the disco. Flat Moon remind us all that the best way to your heart is through your feet.

It’s ska Jim, but not as we know it. Using two tone as a building block, our beloved Captain and his accidents fashion themselves a unique live show that will have you hollering in the aisles and dancing like you’ve already knocked back two pints of home grown scrumpy.

A brass band with funk in its bones and energy in its step. Hackney Colliery Band turn horns and rhythm into something that feels big and alive, turning every set into a groove-first celebration that pushes feet, hearts and shoulders in the same direction.

Bristol’s funk-fuelled party starters bring their explosive blend of hip-hop, breaks, soul and feel-good samples to The Quarry. Expect crowd-shaking energy, crate-dug classics, and a seamless, high-octane DJ set that always gets the whole place moving.

Bass-heavy, genre-blurring and built for big crowds. The Skints bring reggae, punk, dub and dancehall together into explosive live shows that balance sharp politics, massive grooves and pure release.

Fancy a bit of disco fun? How about a vintage party band who are both wonderfully well dressed AND well versed in how to keep a party jumping? And what about a mix of music from across the decades? Then well done! You’ve got it all with this brilliant band.

Let’s be honest, most kids events are shite. Boring, bland, but hey the kids are having fun, right? Well, why can’t you have a bit of joy too Mom and Dad? A couple of hours with Junior Jungle will have both you and your nippers smiling for the rest of the day.

Your favourite acousticy led, didgeridoo infused, beatboxing based trio. Oh, not forgetting their balloon solos. Yes, you read that right. Simply unlike anything you have ever heard and ALWAYS phenomenal live. Your new favourite band.

We can’t wait to let you know who’s filling this spot. Keep ’em peeled!

Intergalactic rave-rock from the far reaches of the cosmos. HENGE unleash pulsating rhythms, psychedelic riffs and alien eccentricity in one glorious, high-energy blast. Wild, weird and irresistibly fun. NOT TO BE MISSED

A full-fat explosion of funk, soul and brass-powered mischief. Tom McGuire & The Brassholes deliver swaggering grooves, huge hooks and the kind of joyous, high-octane chaos that turns any room into a dancefloor.

The world’s only Elvis-fronted Nirvana tribute fever dream. Elvana crash grunge into jumpsuited showmanship, turning classics into gloriously over-the-top, hip-shaking anthems. It’s loud, it’s ludicrous and it absolutely slaps. It Smells Like Burning Love.
