With an indie – pop vibe to their music, catchy tunes and a humble stumbling onto the music scene, what’s not to like about this band?!

A Mancunian trio, Shinies‘ music is perhaps more similar to that you would find across the Atlantic; sun drenched and dreamily rhythmic, perfectly suited to a laid back, coastal festival perhaps in Brighton… Oh wait!

Catch Shinies at the Amazing Radio showcase // Friday 11th May // The Queens Hotel // 8.30pm

Words by Ellie Witt

The Great Escape is by far our favourite weekend of the year. It’s even better than Christmas. And this year we’re there in force; hosting what we’ll modestly refer to as ‘The Best Stage at The Great Escape.’

We are beyond excited to reveal Gross Magic, Eagulls, NZCA/Lines, PINS and six more of the UK’s hottest new artists for our all day event.

Taking place on Friday 11th May at The Queens Hotel as part of the Alternative Escape, the event is free to all..

We’ll have in-depth features on each of the artists over the next month but for now, we hope you’re as excited as we are. Full line-up below.
