An assortment of Japanese acts have joined the
400+ line-up for this year’s festival which kicks off on May 8th including new wave rockers Buffalo Daughter, funk duo TarO&JirO,
experimental one-man band ICHI, and award winning singer-songwriter
Mayu Wakisaka. In years gone by we’ve seen the likes of hot mess
electropop trio TRIPPPLE NIPPPLES and indie rock up and comers
[Champagne] leave their mark on the festival, now it’s time for these
four fresh-faced Brighton first timers to do the same!
