Start Time: 8pm
Millie Manders and The Shutup create cross-genre punk that is hard to ignore. With lyricism that pokes fun, draws you in or leaves you questioning social norms teamed with incredible vocal dexterity, grinding guitars, irresistible horn hooks and a pumping rhythm section, the Millie Manders Music Machine churns out more raw punk fusion than you can shake a stick at, with a huge amount of Pop appeal.
In troubled times, we need artists who will shine a light in the dark, and Millie Manders is emerging as a voice of her generation. Her excellent second album, Wake Up, Shut Up, Work, released on 2 August, is exactly the kind of tonic we need right now. It’s chock-full of ideas, opinions and huge hooks, marinated in teeth-rattling riffs and ska-tinged punk, led by Millie’s huge, emotive, clarion vocal.

High-octane, fierce, bursting with attitude and almost obnoxiously addictive.
The world needs more ballsy female vocalists like this.
