The all day festival returns on Saturday 22nd April, and the full list of which acts we’ll be hosting at the centre has been revealed.

Our doors open in the afternoon for a strong and varied line-up of all ages and genres of music:

4:30pm – Experience the lo-fi punk attitude and sweet tunes of The Keep Cats

5:30pm – Draw The Shades – four clued up kids refusing to play the cool game

6:30pm – Sate your appetite for high-octane, raw pop punk with iamhungry

7:30pm – The Mini Band – already worldwide media stars, and still only aged 13 to 16

8:30pm – Jersey Bones bring politically charged punk rock duo with a 50s twist

9:30pm – It’s our favourite ragtag skifflebilly knees-up band Dolly & the Clothespegs

10:30pm – Adam & Elvis  close the show with songs as melodic as they are bizarre

The Are You Listening? takes in 8 other venues across town, so your wristband will get you access to more music than you could possibly hope for! to find out more about this great festival – and to grab your tickets – head over to http://areyoulistening.org.uk/
