Time to rise and Shiiine at festival
One-day new music festival comes to arena
A new one-day festival is coming to Birmingham celebrating some of the biggest dance and indie acts from the 80s, 90s, 00s and beyond.
Shiiine On Festival will be headlined by Orbital, Shed Seven, Happy Mondays and Julian Cope.
The festival will take place at Birmingham’s Genting Arena on Saturday, September 8.
There will be four stages and a Hacienda after-party.
Under 14-year-olds are not permitted at this event. Anyone aged 14 to 17 must be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18 or over.
The all-day event will be headlined by dance pioneers Orbital who are set to mark their 30th year at the forefront of electronic music in style.
Renowned for their headline slots at Glastonbury among others, they will perform their full festival show in Birmingham.
Also playing the Main Stage are indie heroes Shed Seven who are riding high on the success of their recent top 10 album Instant Pleasures, and Happy Mondays who after 30 years in the business remain one of the most important bands around.
In a line-up exclusive, Shaun Ryder will support himself with a Black Grape set earlier in the day.
The Main Stage also features performances from Embrace who are celebrating a top five album with Love Is A Basic Need and Liverpool legends Cast.
Glasvegas will also play the Main Stage and are set to perform a special anniversary show celebrating a decade since the release of their debut album.
On the Forum Live Stage there will be a rare festival performance from Julian Cope.
The top supporting cast comes from The Wedding Present, Gang Of Four, A certain Ratio, The Stairs, The Membranes, Psyence and Deja Vega.
The outdoor stage, sponsored by Eventim, features headliners Reverend And The Makers who will be joined by Dreadzone and Bentley Rhythm Ace. Jim Bob performs a solo set and his Carter USM bandmate Fruitbat’s band Abdoujaparov and Smoove & Turrell complete the line-up.
In Forum Live, Star Shaped bring us their Britpop disco featuring Ocean Colour Scene’s Steve Cradock. Steve will be playing best of his Northern Soul and Motown collection.
The ‘In conversation’ stage hosts Steve Lamacq who will be performing his Going Deaf for a Living show and Steve ‘Adj’ Atherton relaying hilarious tales of his time with the Stone Roses.
Senior venue sales manager for the Genting Arena, Alex Ginever said: “These are the artists that sound tracked a golden era of music, and to have them all play this one day line-up is going to be epic.
“The Genting Arena is becoming a firm favourite as an alternative festival location for organisers and we’re sure that giggoers are going to love it.”
