Meet the Line-Up

Lara Price

A powerhouse singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist hailing from Norfolk, Lara Price has quickly become a beloved figure in the local alt-rock scene. Fresh off performances at Latitude and First Light festivals, she brings an energetic fusion of alt-rock, indie, and pop-punk, backed by her full band. Her vibrant stage presence is not to be missed!

The Frestonians

Ipswich’s own duo, Peter and Wendy, combine punk energy with indie rock and new wave influences. With award nominations from NMG and Radio Wigwam, 2025 has been their breakout year with heavy radio play and a string of successful new singles. Expect a dynamic and engaging performance!

Monkey Foot Down

From nearby Colchester, this guitar-and-drum duo features Gus and Deborah (formerly of And I Meet You in Churches). Their sound is a raw and heavy wall of punk, rock, and grunge — perfect for those who love high-energy performances with a gritty edge.

Chris Asker

Kicking off the night, Chris is known as Ipswich’s own “anti-punk hero” and the organizer of Askernbury Festival. He will treat the audience to his signature acoustic singer-songwriter set, setting the perfect tone for an exciting evening ahead.
