Underage Festival returns to Victoria Park for 5th Birthday Celebrations.
This year the age of attendees has been changed to 13 – 17 year olds – making this the greatest party on the planet for under 18’s.
Underage festival is excited to announce a host of new names for August’s teen festival. The only event of its kind in the world, Underage is headlined by Bombay Bicycle Club and features Glastonbury’s standout performer Janelle Monae, comedy and music sensations The Midnight Beast, mixtape king Giggs, the colourful pop songs of CocknBullKid, the UK’s next urban super star, Labrinth as well as all the key names on the teen scene.
Chart sensation Loick Essien joins the stellar line up performing his hit single How We Roll.
Pulled Apart By Horses have been described by many as the best live band in Britain right now. These Yorkshire hardcore kids bring their furious, intoxicating, live mayhem to Victoria Park for a must-see show.
Ms Dynamite is a pioneer of the UK garage scene and continues to be an influential voice having recently featured on tracks by a new wave of key players such as Katy B, Zinc, Magnetic Man and Redlight.
Johnny Flynn brings wit and charm as the leading light of the new wave of the bright, young, anti-folk Brit pack while Detroit newcomer Alex Winston is an artist tipped by many tastemakers for big things. She performs tracks from her much lauded Sister Wife mini album.
Expect electro / grime from local girl Mz Bratt whose street smart lyrics and sassy style have already seen her working with the likes of Wiley, Redlight and Tinie Tempah.
Fixers hail from Oxford but their sound has more in common with the Brooklyn brigade and their huge, home-grown, psychedelic, sunshine pop is set to be the soundtrack o the summer.
The mysterious, mask wearing, London trio, Is Tropical always get the party started with their bass heavy, beat driven, pop influenced, lo-fi, dance music.
As ever, Underage champions a host of new and emerging talent giving young bands a platform to play in front of the world’s most rapturous festival audience. Those picked this year are Abyss Dance Group, Andre Spence & Intesi-T, Ben Bezinna, Cynikal, Dave Gamble, Ellie Dibben, Foxx on Fire, Ghost You Echo, Hella Better Dancer, HypeMan Sage and Daprez, Lovelle, Mammoth Sound, Mixed Opinions, Out like a Lion, O.Children, Romance, RD, Spring Offensive, The Skellies, The Young Hearts, Violet, Voyeurist, YGLU and Zaidi.
With the audience age now lowered to 13 – 17 year olds, Underage festival is the only destination for music loving teens and is set to be the best teenage party on the planet.

Loick Essien, Pulled Apart By Horses, Ms Dynamite, Johnny Flynn, Mz Bratt, Alex Winston, Fixers, Is Tropical and more join Bombay Bicycle Club, The Midnight Beast, Janelle Monae, Roll Deep, Yasmin, Giggs, CocknBullKid and Labrinth for teen festival
