Central London new music festival City Showcase will celebrate its tenth anniversary year with its biggest ever line-up this October. The annual event will this year take place from 9-13 Oct, as usual in venues and shops across the capital.
Acts confirmed to play at showcases as part of the festival include: Mark Morriss, Lillian Todd Jones, Daniela Brooker, Josephine, Yellowwire, Magazine Gap, Big Cloud Kid, Fractures, Pink Cigar, Rev78, Floodliners, Shanel Brown, Robert Vincent and Ash Graham, winner of the new talent competition held at City Showcase’s sister event in New Zealand. Admission to each showcase will be £5, though anyone who registers online by the end of September can get a wristband getting them free entry.
In addition to the music, City Showcase will stage a series of panels and events in the Apple Store and Gibson Guitar Studios, including a day aimed at students and those at the start of their music careers on 12 Oct.
City Showcase Director Nanette Rigg told CMU: “We are now gearing up for our tenth anniversary celebrations with more businesses, brands and venues taking part. We are celebrating the last ten years and looking forward to the next ten years showcasing more creative disciplines and creating an online festival to equal the real world experience creating even wider audiences for new talent”.
