Ghost Road Fest is a multi-city two-day festival with a mission to offer opportunity for the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming bands, provide mentorship programmes and paid work experience for young people who are interested in a career within the music industry.
The festival’s ethos strongly s creativity, gender equality, aspiration, and opportunities for the young.
The festival will offer proportional representation with a hope to stimulate the underground music scene post Covid-19. The two shows will help the up-and-coming bands gain a further reach with their music, and a chance to play to a larger and different audience outside of their hometown alongside national DJs performing at the events; opening doors to networking opportunities to artists, interns and audience alike.
Bands now announced include The Virginmarys, The Pearl Harts (London), Sheafs (Leeds), Weekend Recovery, Novustory (Leeds), Moses (London), Snayx, You Want Fox and DJs Charlie Ashcroft, Kelly Chard (both London), Shell Zenner and Christian Carlisle (both Leeds).
