A stellar lineup of indie icons will be descending on the seaside for May 2027, as Blackpool : Indie By The Sea unveils another wave of artists.
Joining the bill are The Boo Radleys, bringing their shoegazing, Britpop sound; Jesus Jones, the alternative rock band behind internation hit ‘Right Here, Right Now’; Sleeper, whose Britpop melodies soundtracked the 90s, A Certain Ratio, the Mancunian band known for their deep funk, post-punk music; and Nigel Clark, the voice behind Dodgy.
Blackpool: Indie By The Sea lands over the May Bank Holiday weekend, Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 May 2027, bringing the bands and songwriters who soundtracked British guitar music from the tail end of the 80s through the 90s and beyond to the North West.
Across the two days, the Winter Gardens will host a run of bands and solo artists who between them cover Madchester, baggy, Britpop and the wave of guitar music that followed it, with the after-hours parties hosted by Bez, of Happy Mondays and Black Grape, and broadcaster and journalist John Robb keeping the weekend going once the main stages wrap.
These new additions join an already packed line-up featuring Ocean Colour Scene, Peter Hook & The Light, Embrace, Black Grape, Paul Draper, The Wedding Present, Space, Northside, The Primitives, Cud.
Rounding out the bill are Ben Ottewell of Gomez, James Walsh of Starsailor, Ian Prowse of Pele and Amsterdam, and Chris Helme of The Seahorses, each performing songs from across their own catalogues, with further names still to be confirmed.
