🔥 INTRODUCING FOXHAUNT 🔥

From Leeds, UK, FOXHAUNT are an alternative rock band building serious momentum within the
UK scene. The band — consists of Ollie Swift (vocals), Thom Clayton (guitar) and Sam Whittle
(bass/vocals) — combining melodic, emotionally-driven hooks with heavy, high octane
performance. Drawing influence from a wide spectrum of artists including Linkin Park, Limp
Bizkit and Story of the Year through to Architects, Bad Omens and Dayseeker, FOXHAUNT have
developed a modern, powerful sound that bridges classic and modern alternative rock.
FOXHAUNT have also received national radio support from BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rocks, BBC
Radio 1 Future Alternative, and Kerrang! Fresh Blood — further cementing their status as a rising
force in UK alternative music.

🔥 INTRODUCING Asleep At The Helm 🔥

Asleep At The Helm are a four-piece modern metalcore band from Manchester, UK. Born in melodic roots and now fused with the raw intensity of the Australian scene, their sound is energetic, fierce and uncompromising. They’ve already earned regular support from Kerrang Radio, Music Choice, Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora and are resonating nationwide with unforgettable, high-octane live performances.

🔥 INTRODUCING Waterlines 🔥

Self-proclaimed "Dirtbags from The North," WATERLINES are hellbent on taking the UK metalcore scene by
storm. Formed in late 2022, the band write music built for one purpose: to be played live to a room that's
about to erupt. Their sound fuses nu-metal with EDM and synthwave-laced metalcore, backed by
performances that are as dynamic on stage as the tracks are on record.

Yooooo! I’m Scott 👋
I thought I’d jump on to introduce myself. I set up Croftfest with a bunch of mates to celebrate the life of my best mate Ben. I spent my teen years growing up beside Ben and he had the biggest influence on me in so many ways. One of those was music!
We spent many hours jamming together, band rehearsals, listening to our fave albums, going to gigs and festivals. Music was a huge part of our friendship, so it only felt right to honour his life with a music festival 🖤🤘
I am on a mission to raise as much awareness for Muscular Dystrophy UK as possible, to help fund vital research that supports those living with MD and with the hopes that one day there could be a cure.
I miss Ben every single day but I know he would love Croftfest. I hope to see as many of you there as possible to celebrate his life and raise money for an amazing charity! Please do come say hello 👋 🖤🤘
