Lifelong Motörhead fan Rob Campbell (Rickenbastard & vocals) captures the essence of Lemmy in voice, stage clothes and that grinding mid-range bass sound. No wonder this band all but sold out York last time.

Rachel Croft’s songwriting is cinematic, moody and classic; atmospheric backdrops champion her powerful, dramatic vocals, smoothly blending folk, rock, and soul styles.

It’s me, Loulie, AKA the face that launched a thousand dicks! In this show I’ll examine relationships (all kinds, baby), mental health (other people’s, I’m fine) and perverts (that one is mainly me, actually).

Since founding the art-rock band The Soft Boys in 1976, Robyn has recorded more than 20 albums Blending folk and psychedelia with a wry British nihilism, Robyn describes his songs as ‘paintings you can listen to’.

He returns to The Crescent stage in October to play a show with his band.

Red Rum Club broaden their horizons with their second studio album, The Hollow of Humdrum. Widening the spectrum of their sonic, this record varies from acoustic ballads to disco themed festival anthems.
