Event information

PET NEEDS
Powered by their mantra "The Best Songs are Sung in Small Company" and armed with two acoustic guitars, Johnny and George from PET NEEDS are bringing their own brand of Fractured Party Music to micropubs, small rooms and breweries!

2022 saw PET NEEDS play 139 shows in 14 countries including a world tour with Frank Turner, playing everywhere from Brixton Academy, to Cassopeia Berlin, to House of Blues Las Vegas. 2023 is set to be even more exciting with an extensive UK tour with The Lottery Winners, USA tour with legendary punk band The Bouncing Souls and a slot on the infamous "Flogging Molly Cruise", setting sail from Miami to Mexico. 2023 will end with their glorious annual "Fractured Party" at an 800 capacity venue in their home town of Colchester. Uniting this band is a preternatural talent for gripping melodies - the urge to thrust fists in the air and yell at the top of your voice is almost irresistible. Taking the UK, Europe and USA by storm, PET NEEDS shatter expectations for what passes as intelligent rock music in the UK.

PANDAPOPALYPSE
Oxford's Pandapopalypse play alternative dance / indie pop, drawing inspiration from 90’s Big Beat, but with as much live instrumentation as 3 people can manage. They are 'insanely catchy' according to the Ocelot Magazine.

The tracks ‘Glitter & Gems’ and ‘Be The Best’ from their debut EP received radio play on BBC Introducing Oxford, with 'Glitter & Gems' also coming 4th in Oxford Music Magazine Nightshift’s tracks of the year in 2019. This was followed by their 'Now EP', which also was also played by BBC Introducing, and track ‘Do You Wanna’ receiving 8th place in Nightshift’s Tracks of the Year 2020.

Pandapopalypse put together their songs like 90s big-beat producers: taking samples and building songs by mixing chopped-up bits together. The difference is they create the samples themselves either by writing snippets of songs, or from recording jam sessions and taking the good bits. They record, chop it up, and then stick it all back together to make the tunes.
