Of the addition of Leprous, co-organiser Ash Cook comments: "Leprous are a band that can’t really be compared to anyone else when you take into account their discography. Each album is often described by critics as original as they modify their sound to include slightly more metal, alternative, indie, folk elements with each release.

With Einar Solberg’s unique voice, and his ability to play keys and synths at the same time, it almost hasn’t mattered what the rest of the band does at the same time. Album after album, it just comes together. 

2019’s Pitfalls was an album that showed their most progressive side yet, and after missing that tour, it will be great to see material from that and their newest album, Aphelion being performed live at RADAR, as well as hopefully some of their heavier numbers too."

Radar Festival 2022 will again have musician masterclasses, fantastic food, and more surprises - held in the renovated venue of Casino, Guildford.

With their mixture of international talent and confirmed homegrown success, Radar Festival position themselves as champions of forward-thinking guitar-led music. Launched in 2019 to acclaim, with performances from Animals As Leaders, Agent Fresco, Rolo Tomassi and more, the new festival is already making a claim as one of the UK's most exciting progressive music events.
