Lonely The Brave are rapidly gaining a reputation as an impressive live band, being compared by some to Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro, and have note worthy festival experience having played Reading & Leeds and Download Festival in past years. With a UK tour and a new album titled Things Will Matter due to be released on May 20th, this summer promises exciting things for Lonely The Brave. Watch latest single Radar below!

Fort Fest takes place across three days from September 2nd to September 4th, and even allows bands to apply for a slot on stage (you can do so via the official website by clicking this link).

This year will mark a crucial milestone for Fort Fest, the festival still being it its infancy, however its idyllic location, alternative nature and inclusive attitude are sure to set the stage (no pun intended) for Fort Fest to become an annual event.

Information and tickets can be found at the official website.
