We are also proud to announce a number of additional Pallet Stage bookings.

Former Dum Dum’s frontman Josh Doyle will be hitching a lift from LA, Manchester Reggae legends Nucleus Roots, Sheffield-based ‘explosive dub’ act Smiling Ivy, Yorkshire rockers Faerground Accidents have also all been added to the bill.
