***Slaves*** - Outline favourites, Laurie (guitar) and Isaac (drums and vocals) produce a huge punk rock sound for a dup. All done with their tongues firmly in their cheeks, their latest tunes have a firm foot in Nirvana circa Bleach. Absolutely genius in our opinion, and we recommend them as one of our Top Four to see at the Big Weekend.

Sam Smith - If you didn't manage to get tickets for Sam's show at Thetford Forest this summer, now's your chance to catch him! He's grown massive worldwide in the last year or so, and Sam will be perfect for that 'lighters aloft' moment at the Big Weekend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCkpzqqog4k
Taylor Swift - T-Dog. Swifty. Many in Norwich are rather pleased about Taylor visiting our fine city. The question is will Ed Sheerhan appear on stage with her? Here she is doing some dancing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM
