19.00 Martyrs’ Marquee – Nasty Fishmonger
 |
Nasty Fishmonger is a rowdy folk-punk band from Bristol. They play anti-austerity anthems and historical ballads with a camaraderie and charm that is hard to resist. Drunkenly conceived in 2018 with the sole ambition of getting into festivals for free, the chaotic folk-punk collective have gigged relentlessly up and down the country, winning over crowds with their foot-stomping sound and political anthems. Having played with heavy hitters such as The Dreadnoughts, Ferocious Dog, Mad Dog Mcrea and Black Water County, the band has proved time and again they can conquer stages of any size, from the iconic Rock City, to the infamous Boomtown Fair. |

20:15 Martyrs’ Marquee – Onika Venus
 |
Onika Venus is a singer and songwriter from South Manchester in Jamaica, now based in the Forest of Dean. Introduced to live music at an early in age in her home village of Resource, she quickly learnt that music reaches people in a way that nothing else does. Ever since her first performance, her soulful voice and reggae style has been capturing the hearts of audiences across continents.
With a unique vocal style and outstanding musicianship, Onika now performs her multi-genre music across the UK with her band. Expect to hear shades of old school reggae, RnB, pop, and funk – as well as a few surprises. |
21.30 Martyrs’ Marquee – Shanghai Treason
 |
Those cheeky party starting Yorkshire Banjo Punks ‘Shanghai Treason’ will have you hopping around, spilling your pint and smiling from ear to ear. It’s politically charged, good time, beer drinking music that’s perfect for big tops, festival fields and one man revolutions! |
22.45 Martyrs’ Marquee – Grace Petrie
 |
Forged from the political disillusionment of a generation of Tory rule, folk-rock cult hero and queer icon Grace Petrie returns to UK venues this year with the protest song firmly back in her heart. Long renowned for her razor sharp lyricism and the joyful, welcoming nature of her stunning live shows, Petrie smashed the UK charts with latest album Build Something Better. Produced by Frank Turner and packed with full-hearted modern folk anthems, it shot to the top of both the folk and the UK download chart, cementing her status as one of Britain’s most beloved songwriters. |
