The first wave includes 86TVs, The Lounge Society, Coops, Rozi Plain, deathcrash, Moreish Idols, Kyoto Kyoto and more.

Brighten The Corners Festival (FKA Ipswich Sound City) has shared details of its 2023 line up, which takes place in Ipswich’s town centre across various grassroots venues on June 9th and 10th 2023.

The key highlight so far will be 86TVs, the new project of The Maccabees Felix and Hugo White, who will perform alongside The Lounge Society, Coops, Rozi Plain, deathcrash, Moreish Idols, Kyoto Kyoto and more.

Head of Programming Marcus Neal notes, “It’s a real pleasure pulling together a festival line-up and it feels great to be able to start releasing the first names for 2023. We’re always proud of the quality of artists we work with and 2023 will be no different. This first release covers so many bases from spiritual jazz to UK hip-hop, indie-folk to post-punk, we feel there is already a great spread of genres and we look forward to building upon this with further announcements including more festival headliners in the new year.”

The venues showcasing the multi-venue festival will be The Smokehouse, The Baths, St Stephen’s Church, Corn Exchange and a stage on the Corn Hill – all within Ipswich’s easily accessible town centre.
