Marika Hackman‘s debut album, released last month, was far from cheery. Her brand of folk is far from easily digestible; We Slept At Last is full of dark, twisted fairytales that are utterly absorbing. We can’t imagine a better place to see her perform it than the plush, velvety surroundings of the Bush Hall.
Just Announced
In the five years since its inception, Bushstock has earned a reputation for showcasing up-and-coming acts which soon became massive. It’s curated by the folks from Communion, who’ve previously lined-up the likes of Daughter, George Ezra and Hozier. This year’s one-dayer takes over Shepherd’s Bush on 13 June, with 40 bands playing across six stages. The first wave of acts announced include All We Are, Lucy Rose, Honeyblood, Port Isla, Misty Miller and Lisa Mitchell. Tickets are on sale now.
