Frozemode, Miki Berenyi, Third Kulture, Hang Linton, Silver Tabby and TM Distant join previously announced acts Sacred Paws, Baby Said, Uninvited, Mashaal, eatboys. and Dygora, completing a twelve-act bill.
Now in its ninth year, Decolonise Fest platforms artists of colour across punk and alternative rock music, and this year's edition is its biggest yet. The festival, which launched in 2017 in a grassroots space, has previously hosted Nova Twins, Bob Vylan, Big Joanie, Whitelands and Master Peace.
This year's twelve-act bill runs alongside a program of workshops, panel discussions and other creative activities built around music, solidarity and collective action, with details on the talks to follow next month, DIY reported.
"Spaces like this are important for so many POC music lovers who seek an inclusive event where they can become part of a community," organiser Alex Ekong said, crediting Arts Council England and the Supporting Grassroots Music Fund for helping fund the event again this year.
