Festival season is finally upon us once more, with many of the world’s greatest musicians landing on UK shores, heading to a festival stage near you. 

This year is a great year across the board with the likes of Adele, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Who and The Cure headlining Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Isle of Wight and Bestival respectively. 

Among this list of chart-topping and legendary acts, there is also a whole host of fantastic new acts taking to festival stages up and down the country.  

Here at London Speaker Hire, we love new music, that’s why we have put together five of our most recommended new acts to check out at this summer’s festivals.  

Spring King 

After a number of hard years grafting at the bottom of bills, Spring King finally seem to be coming into the limelight. The art-pop-punk four piece from Manchester are headed up by the supremely talented singer/drummer Tarek Musa, who sets them above many other new acts.  

Here’s their 2015 single City, which was the first song played by Zane Lowe on the launch of Beats 1. 

Catch them this summer at T in the Park, Reading & Leeds, Bestival, Boardmasters and Kendal Calling. 

Let’s Eat Grandma

This Norwich duo will likely make you question what on earth you were doing during your teen years. Rosa (16) and Jenny (17) create wonderfully bewitching, disorientating and rich tunes which lie somewhere between the sounds of PJ Harvey, Bjork and CocoRosie.   

A track which best sums up their talent is the fantastic Deep Six Textbook. 

Go see them if you’re heading to Latitude, Festival by The Sea, Castlepalooza, Field Day or Visions Festival.  

Blossoms

Probably the most recognisable name on this list is the superb Blossoms. In the last 12 months, the Stockport indie rock five-piece have gained plenty of airtime on the nation’s top radio stations and have supported the likes of The Libertines, Jake Bugg, The Charlatans, The Last Shadow Puppets and The Stone Roses. This all comes before the release of their first album. 

Check out their latest single Getaway. 

See them at Reading & Leeds, Truck Festival, Glastonbury, Kendal Calling, Y Not?, T in the Park, Boardmasters, Festival No.6, Parklife, Isle of Wight amongst others. 

Black Honey

With their combination of frontwoman Izzy B Phillips’ femme fatale vocals and spikey guitar riffs, the Brighton four-piece are the latest in a growing collection of female led contemporary rock/indie bands.  

We are still awaiting their debut album; however, they have a number of great single releases worth checking out. Their biggest hit to date, with over 1.3 million plays on Spotify is the brilliant Madonna:

Black Honey will be performing at Bestival, 2000 Trees Festival, Truck Festival and Barn on the Farm Festival.  

The Big Moon

Fresh off the back of supporting the likes of the Vaccines and the Maccabees, The Big Moon are sure to be a hit of astronomical performances this summer. 

The London female four-piece create a refreshing pop-inflected retro rock, which combines snarling guitars with frontwoman Juliette Jackson’s nonchalant vocals. 

Their accessible singles get no better than Nothing Without You.

 You can catch them at Glastonbury, Bushstock Festival, Latitude, Leefest Presents Neverland, Truck Festival, Outlines Festival, End of the Road Festival and Festival By The Sea.
