The British Sound Project champions some of the best British bands in indie and rock – featuring a line-up established artists alongside new breakthrough acts.
The inaugural festival last year included Primal Scream, Black Grape, Badly Drawn Boy and Eliza & The Bear.
Co-organiser Steven Wood wanted to create an indoor music event towards the end of the UK musical festival calendar, when the weather is a little more unpredictable.
“We’ve been really pleased with the response to last year’s British Sound Project and looking forward to expanding it into a twoday indoor festival,” he said.
“The line-up is looking brilliant for both days and we have the competition to find two new bands to perform – one each day.
“There will also be VIP ticket giveaways in the next few weeks, so keep looking out for updates on social media.”
