The good news keeps on rolling! We’re stupidly excited to announce we’re officially a part of the magical Blissfields Festival this year for the first time ever!
The kind folk over Blissfields have been amazing enough to let us hand pick a couple of acts to play the festival under the SIR banner at The Larch so we’ve summoned a couple of our new favourites to Vicarage Farm being slacker-dream-psych-pop trio, Drug Store Romeos and crazy good, fuzzy-grunge pop outfit, DANCEHALL.
Also playing Blissfields is our very own Melt Dunes who will take their heavy dose of mind-warping-psychedelia to the Hidden Hedge stage!
Although we've been involved in stages before at The Alternative Escape, Dials Festival and Southsea Fest as well as at the forthcoming Portsmouth Psych Fest, this will the first time SIR have been involved with an outdoor festival so we can’t wait!
Also playing Blissfields is SIR faves who have slayed for us before at various shows including Black Honey, Palm Honey, Flamingods and The Diamond Age.
We can’t wait to party with you in a field in July! It’s going to be weird and wonderful!
Get your tickets HERE!
