Meadowlands Festival has announced the launch of a brand new stage at its much-anticipated city centre event at the Victoria Embankment on Friday, June 3. Headliners include Scottish chart-topping indie star Gerry Cinnamon, The Kooks, The Mysterines and Black Honey.
The festival, over the Jubilee Bank Holiday Weekend, is set to be one of the biggest live music events in the city this summer with thousands of tickets already sold. The organisers of the festival have also announced an additional stage which will feature up-and-coming bands curated by BBC presenter Dean Jackson. The BBC Introduction Stage will also include some Nottingham bands.
Mr Jackson said: “I am thrilled to curate a BBC Introducing stage at Meadowlands and delighted that the team there are showing support for incredible local musicians to perform alongside rising national artists. Vona Vella and Catmilk are just two of the Nottingham artists who have my national colleagues really excited at present and Merseyside’s Michael Aldag is an exceptional performer found on TikTok with perceptive emotional songs reflecting life in 2022.
