Celebrating music of the future in a world of the past. First Release tickets are £55 and on sale here.
Debuting in 2022, SIGNALS offers festival-goers a different kind of experience, stepping back in time to the Victorian village and light-transit-enthusiast-nirvana of Derbyshire’s Crich Tramway Village. A spectacular one-day bash, it’s that most British of institutions – the summer day trip – turned up to 11.
Festival-goers will find themselves in the heart of one of England’s best-kept secrets, the picturesque Derwent Valley. Home of Crich Tramway Village, a unique and beautiful venue set in the Derbyshire countryside.
It’s really a perfect setting for a festival with The Charlatans at its heart. Because they, too, have always been a bit different – too Cheshire to truly be Manchester; cool older brothers of the Britpop kids; survivors of the landfill years. Now, with their seminal album Tellin’ Stories celebrating its 25th anniversary, they remain in a league of their own, a band whose own story is one of triumph over tragedy and tenacity over turbulence. And now: trams. Their headline set is sure to be the ultimate experience for fans. Plus! SIGNALS will mark a very rare occasion where you can catch The Charlatans and Tim Burgess (solo) in the same day.
The artists joining the line-up represent the cutting edge and the classic. What does that mean in practical terms? It means Nottingham sisters ALT BLK ERA sharing their voice for change but also it means Crich Brass opening up the main Labyrinth stage, with some classic songs.
The additions celebrate artists from a difficult-to-pigeonhole region that’s always punched in pop’s big leagues, taking in acts from Nottingham, Sheffield and Derby among those from (a little) further afield.
The new names are offbeat singer-songwriters This Is The Kit, Fiona Bevan and Estella, 4- piece folk/ grunge band Catmilk, Sheffield indie upstarts The Rosadocs, guitar-slingers Shadows Of A Silhouette, Buxton’s Isaac Neilson, indie-rockers Melonade and new alt-folk project Fellow Braves.
They join previously announced acts including The Charlatans, The Cribs, Tim Burgess (solo), Liz Lawrence, Peaness and more on a line-up put together to celebrate a brand new generation of talent alongside the big names. If you leave buzzing about finding your new favourite band while idly humming One To Another, then it’s worked.
