Other live music will come from One Night Only, Does It Offend You Yeah?, Joe Lean And The Jin Jan Jong, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip, The Metros, Vincent vincent And The Villains, Sway, Team Waterpolo, The Grammatics, Jonny Flynn, James Owen Fender, Aynzli Jones, Devils Gun, Babyhead, Beat Bullyz, Nick Harrison, The Getaway, Frank Hamilton, and The Dirty Discos.
