Final names announced for Here Comes The Sun Festival 2023

The final names are here for this year’s packed Here Comes The Sun Festival line-up – with new and familiar faces taking to our three stages!

Acoustic punk shanty trio Corvid have wanted to play the festival for years – so how could we say no? They bring tales of murder, death and the odd old boat, all entirely suitable for singing and swigging along to! Jackie Doe & The Uncertainty of Passion blend folk, tango and French music for something that is truly ooh-la-la, there’s electronic fun to be had from Jaebee, and we offer a rare outing for the silken voice of pianist Lorraine Briffitt (and friends).

We’ll also see some showcase performances from more of our close-knit artists. Fresh from delivering a musical take on Jack & The Beanstalk in Reading Libraries, Natalie Wilcox will perform those same songs in a wonderful show for kids! And at the other end of the spectrum, Mojo Jones, Miss Sugar Rush and Dutch-s of the Scarlet Vixens return to the troupe’s original home for a teasing burlesque cabaret!

Old faces, new faces. Old music, new music. Stuff for kids, stuff very much not for kids! All in all, the icing on a rather wonderful cake of a line-up!

So why not join us for the biggest house party of the summer – tickets just £10 in advance from WeGotTickets, or £15 on the door (should we not sell out in advance!)
