A bubbling brew of vintage influenced musical genres with one thing in common: that wild, raw sound that makes you want to kick up your heels and raise some dust!
Featuring a line-up of 16 amazing bands from around the world (including several underground legends who have never played the UK before!), top international disc-jockeys, drool-inducing go-go dancers, trashy entertainment, delirious OTT decor, far-out film and art shows, rummagetastic record fair and retro market, a secret cave party and
two all-night ballroom bashes in the coolest city in the Midlands!
