Redfaces , KU Bar Stage / Time TBC
Another four piece indie, rock and roll band from Sheffield. Some people would say typical and turn their nose up straight away, but that would be very very silly and stupid. I know what you're thinking, Arctic Monkey wannabes. Far from it, they've created their own sound, but if I was to describe it to anyone by using another band, I'd use examples of bands such as the View. After performing at places such as T in The Park in 2015. It only takes a matter of seconds of listening to their music to understand why it would be a big mistake not going to watch them at this year's Stockton Calling.
If you were to mix a country style vocalist with the indie and rock and roll instruments, that is Redfaces. On paper it sounds so weird and I bet you're thinking to yourself, it can't work. I promise you that it does, it' is a fantastic fresh sound.
Alistair James, Room 21 stage / Time TBC
Alistair James is back in the North East!
Some of you may know him as Alistair Sheerin. After spending some quality time in America, Alistair certainly came back home with a bang, performing at such venues as the Townhouse, Middlesbrough in the recently months, armed with a new single, 'Have You Ever Been Low', it's a perfect reason to go and watch him at this year's festival.
This young man will be supported by his full band and we can only begin to imagine the sound they can create after seeing them live at Mixtape. If you are into the soft rock and roll then Alistair is the guy for you! Within his music, you can hear the influenes of Paul Weller, I'd even go as far to say a slight hint of Status Quo.
Coquin Migale, NARC @ The Green Room stage / Time TBC
Alex, Stevie, Jack and Josh, four lads from Newcastle, head to Stockton Calling with guitars, drums and a mic in hand, with the aim to certainly leave their mark on the day.
They are a band that has certainly started 2016 in a very big way. Recently releasing their newest single which is accompanied by a video, 'Grindie'. With the sounds that these guy's produce, it's only a matter of time before they are progressing onto bigger stages.
With their rocky sound and chilling vocals, Coquin Migale are certainly a band we can't wait to go and watch.
