From blues to punk to hip-hop, there’s something for everyone at a new music festival in Great Yarmouth this summer.
Great Yarmouth Sounds is a two-day extravaganza taking place at multiple venues near the city center on August 13-14.
The festival, which will host live music at venues including The Jube, St George’s Theater and Spencer’s Sports Bar, will be presented by:
- The Silver Lines – an indie band based in Birmingham, whose music has been played regularly on BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music
- Millie Manders and La Shut Up – a ska-punk outfit that was heralded by Metal Hammer’s Matt Stocks as “one to watch”
- The Moods – an alternative hip-hop group whose sound has been described as an amalgamation of The Happy Mondays, The Prodigy and Rage Against The Machine by MCR Live.
There will also be performances from Liverpool Cavern Club regulars Mean Mr Mustard, the Ron Sayer Trio and Arthur Black.
