If you’re heading down to Stockton Calling in a couple of weeks time, you’re probably wondering who on earth to prioritise out of a whopping 60+ bands and artists.
Well I’ve compiled a list of another 3 incredibly talented recommendations who are guaranteed not to disappoint on the 26th March 2016, that you and your friends should definitely not miss.
Plaza (5pm / Musiclounge stage)
First of all, we definitely recommend checking out new line up additions; Plaza. The Hartlepool band are becoming increasingly popular and are fresh off a 5 date UK tour. With a newly released single, Totem following a 2015 release of 5 original songs, the band are packed with experience and are followed intently to each gig by a well earned bunch of fans. The 4 piece, playing the Musiclounge stage this year, are guaranteed to be incredibly prosperous in the near future so checking them out in such an intimate venue is a must.
Major Matilda (3.45pm / The Sun Inn stage)
I also encouraged you to check out Major Matilda, previously known as Nocturnal Dictionary. The band hail from Whitby and are fresh from releasing their first album with an impressive discography to experiment and display. Playing The Sun Inn stage, the group are simply incredible and never fail to put on an exceptional live show of interest and expertise. The band are no stranger to our North East music scene and are continuously gigging in order to increase their confidence and expertise. A genuine band who are very evidently incredibly talented.
Figmennt (2pm / Musiclounge stage)
Lastly, we recommend Figmennt, the hugely popular and well loved Teesside shoe gaze 4 piece. Also playing the Musiclounge stage on the 26th, the band have already been taking the year, and the North East music scene, by storm with their unique and stylistic gig performances that they’ve displayed across the region. With new recording taking place mid March, the band will be fresh and ready to deliver an exceptional show to really make their mark on Stockton Calling 2016.
