Each year attendees are encouraged to arrive in fancy dress and the theme for this weekend is B Movie Monsters & Mythical Creatures of the Watery Depths so let your imaginations run wild and come decked out in your finest aquatic attire. We take a look at some of the stunning acts that you can see this Saturday!
Waterfront tickets are currently available.
Avalanche Party
The Gigantic Stage 22:30
Whether it is their visceral and brutish post punk tracks like ‘Solid Gold’ and ‘Revolution’ or their anthemic belters ‘Money’ and ‘I’m So Wet’, there is always a feral undercurrent to Avalanche Party which gives the allure of danger. Pinned by many as the band to explode this year, do not miss you chance to see them at Waterfront 2017.
No Nothings
The Gigantic Stage 21:30
Hull’s finest speed garage punks No Nothings are certainly the ones to watch. Every performance is blisteringly fast and devastatingly loud making for one hell of a ride! Just don’t say we didn’t warn you when your ears are still ringing the next week.
Chambers
The Gigantic Stage 20:30
Two-piece hard rock outfit Chambers are pioneers of ‘Sister Doom’, their very own sound packing a hard-pneumatic punch accompanied by cold and removed vocals that draws influence from horror films.
Autumn Diet Plans
The Leftlion Stage 21:00
Autumn Diet Plans are one of the most exciting bands to recently emerge from Nottingham’s fertile musical breeding grounds. The slacker troupe tap into grunge and psyche and have a real knack for writing truly catchy tunes.
Thee Eviltones
The Leftlion Stage 20:00
Garage band heroes Thee Eviltones with their dark surf sound are perfectly suited for the festivals B-movie sea monsters theme. Rock and roll action at its absolute finest.
