Each laceration ran deeper than the one before.”

Having already announced a remarkably stacked day of bands, Liverpool’s own No Play Fest had one last trick up their sleeve, announcing a fantastic selection of bands bolstering the lineup. This final lineup announcement for the main festival leaves No Play Fest in a ridiculously strong position, with there being a bit of everything smattered across the lineup. Alongside these new additions, we’ve also been given stage splits, allowing for eager fans to get ahead and start (roughly) planning out their day.

Joining the likes of Stick To Your Guns, Spy, Spaced, and Roman Candle, are Dream State, a heavy hitter with years of experience and a cultlike following. Set to headline the Rough Trade stage, they’ve got their work cut out for them, but undoubtedly will pull off something special for those in attendance. Alongside Dream State comes plenty of younger talent, with the likes of So Far So Good, Omoia, and Crowquill being notable inclusions. As a festival which prides itself on bringing in a good balance of upcoming talent and established names, there couldn’t be any more perfect picks to join the lineup than these.

See below for the full list of additions.

  • Dream State
  • Love Rarely
  • Crowquill
  • So Far So Good
  • Without Love
  • Vienna
  • Breakfast with Bears
  • Bye Bye
  • Omoia
  • Horsebastard
  • Syntara
  • Face It Tegan

The full lineup can be seen below, along with stage splits.

Taking place in Liverpool city centre on Saturday the 5th of September, No Play Fest spans multiple venues, giving attendees the opportunity to explore the city whilst darting between stages. Oh, and as if this wasn’t enough, there’s a pre-show on the Friday for those who want a little bit more to be excited about.

Tickets are available here, and come in at just under £70 after fees – a bargain for a lineup this good!
