Performing sets from home, the event will take place across a number of digital stages over the three days of the early May bank holiday weekend. It won’t just be live sets featuring, though. We’re also announcing the first parts of our alternative programming, includingg Yoga with Natti from Fickle Friends, a Walt Disco Late Night Lockdown Extravaganza, and Jerry Paper‘s fantastic cat tricks.
Yes, cat tricks.
Homeschool is also raising much-needed awareness of the incredible work of frontline medical staff and volunteers here in the UK – encouraging donations to the NHS Charities Together Covid-19 Urgent Appeal throughout the weekend.
With nearly 200 artists announced already, these new additions join the likes of Tom Grennan, Love Fame Tragedy, Grouplove, Bloxx, Cavetown, The Xcerts, Bad Sounds, IDER, The Sherlocks, Tim Burgess, Alfie Templeman and many more. We’re not done yet, either. Keep your eyes peeled for yet more over the next week.
